Thanks for the suggestions -- this worked pretty well.

For the record, here were the steps I used:

ffmpeg -i program.mpa -ar 48000 -ab 192 -acodec ac3 program.ac3
mplex -f 8 -o program.mpg program.mpv program.ac3
dvdwizard -T 'disc title' -N PAL -A en -t 'program title' -c 900 program.mpg
(edit dvdwizard.xml, change aspect="4:3" to aspect="16:9")
rm -r dvd && dvdauthor -x dvdwizard.xml

Cheers,
Andrew
