You should be able to do:

growisofs -Z /dev/hdc -dvd-video <DIRNAME>

Where <DIRNAME> is a directory containing a DVD-structured file  
system (ie: VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directories)

This assumes your DVD burner is /dev/hdc, modify accordingly if it is  
not.

The growisofs command is part of the MythDora installation.
