I use a shell script to convert the video to dvd compatible format then use 
dvdstyler to create the menus and burn the disk (either as an ISO or direct to 
the disk.

 I call it dvdvid and usage is "./dvdvid input output aspect" Mind word 
wrapping that's one mencoder line.  Of course mencoder is also required to use 
it.  The shell script is as follows:

#!/bin/sh
mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf 
scale=720:480,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=18:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=$3 
-ofps 30000/1001 -o $2 $1
