Doing above should create a structure in the directory specified by the -o
parameter.  Then it is a simple matter to use a command like...

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video ./dvd/

The above assumes your dvd writer is /dev/dvd and the structure created by
dvdauthor is located at your present position in the filesystem.
