Fairly easy from this point if you use dvdauthor - either make an xml
file for menu/chapter layout, or:
`dvdauthor -o dvdfs Math-FAQ-Marathon.mpg`
`dvdauthor -o dvdfs -T`

Then you can burn the dvd with:
`growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video dvdfs/`

http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/04/17/2058219 is decent. Also
you may want to hit google's cache of
http://bard.sytes.net/quickdvdhowto (which I wrote, but is slightly
outdated; for example, you no longer have to encode the audio and
video separately with mencoder).
