Is there a reason why you can't use mkisofs?  I have used:

mkisofs -dvd-video /vid-path/ -o iso.tmp

For videos to play in my dvd player.  I have used mkisofs in its 
regular form (ISO9660 + Joliet and Rock Ridge) to just write data 
that my computer's dvd can read.  Both up to 4.7 GB.  (Actually, if I 
could afford double layer dvd-rs I could write 8.whatever GB, I 
think).
