Your approach, Kenny, is quite effective and simple, and inspired the following alternative method:

Cool. I hadn't looked closely enough at the growisofs man page to see that you could pass mkisofs options.
In any event, I like to create the DVD images so I can test them with xine, usually to see if my custom menus work, etc.
xine can play a DVD iso image or by full path to /path/to/directory/containing/audio_ts/and/video_ts
e.g.,
xine dvd:/full/path/to/dvd.iso
or
xine dvd:/path/to/directory/containing/audio_ts/and/video_ts
and even
xine dvd:/path/to/directory/containing/audio_ts/and/video_ts/VIDEO_TS
works too!
Thanks again, Kenny. That is a piece of very useful information.
