Can't Make a DVD Video

I have been having trouble creating a video dvd with my system. The program Varsha comes up with the following error:

Output:

ExitValue: 0 /usr/bin/dvdauthor -x /mnt/win_d/varsha_dvd.xml
Executing 'mkisofs -dvd-video /mnt/win_d/varsha_dvd | builtin_dd of=/dev/raw/raw1 obs=32k seek=0'
mkisofs: Unable to make a DVD-Video image.
mkisofs: Unable to make a DVD-Video image.
:-( write failed: Input/output error
:-( write failed: Input/output error
ExitValue: 133 /usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/hdc -dvd-video /mnt/win_d/varsha_dvd

I have no problem burning a data DVD in K3B. I am using Mandriva 2006, BTW.

I have tried qdvdauthor and dvdstyler as well. I didn't run these in a shell to see the full error outputs.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Kris

Your build seems to be failing where mkisofs tries to create the disk image. So first of all, have you confirmed that you have mkisofs installed?

Are you trying to burn it directly to DVD? If so, then try creating an .iso file on hard disk first instead. If it works there you can burn it to a blank disk afterwards.
