Since I record shows with a PVR-250 I use the following procedure to create
dvd's.

Open the video file with avidemux2 and edit out the commercials. Save the
audio track and the raw video track as "aud" and "vid" and then run the
following script. This is something I customized from various other posts
here.

#!/bin/sh
mplex -f 8 -V -o mydvd.video aud vid
echo "creating dvd file system"
dvdauthor -o mydvd -f mydvd.video
dvdauthor -o mydvd -T
echo "burning disc"
growisofs -dvd-video -Z /dev/dvd mydvd
echo "cleaning up"
rm -f *.idx
rm -f mydvd.video
rm -rf mydvd

This is really only useful if you only want to put one show on a dvd but the
script shows the tools I use to actually perform the steps.
