Thanks, but I ran into a problem with this.  I did:

$mkisofs -dvd-video -o pdt.iso /media/cdrom/
mkisofs: Unable to make a DVD-Video image.

Looking at the mkisofs man page:

-dvd-video
 Generate DVD-Video compliant UDF file system. This is done by
 sorting the order of the content of the appropriate files and by
 adding padding between the files if needed. Note that the sort-
 ing only works if the DVD-Video filenames include upper case
 characters only.

All the filenames are lower case.  Don't know if this is a problem or not.

Any clues?
