Unfortunately, recordable DVDs aren't as simple as CDs.  There are two
formats, DVD+Rs and DVD-Rs.  When recording a DVD+R, the recorder can
pick up a burn from any specific point on the disc, so it will never
suffer from buffer underruns.  These discs need growisofs, which is in
the dvd+r-tools package.  DVD-Rs work much like CD-Rs in that you need
to make an image of the disc on your hard drive, then burn it to the
DVD.  These should be recordable using the same software as CDs.
