Makedvd

From Tovid Wiki

makedvd takes a dvdauthor XML file (as generated by makexml) and authors a DVD filesytem. makedvd can also burn a DVD disc from either the XML file or from an existing DVD filesystem.

To ensure that this script successfully executes, please run it from a directory with plenty of free space. "Plenty" would be 10 GB for single-layer discs, and 20 GB for dual-layer discs. Running this program may slow down your other applications, due to intense disk activity.
