My goal is to create a DVD of a church service as painlessly as possible.

I am running a P4 with debian 6.0,
Linux version 2.6.26-2-686 (Debian 2.6.26-26lenny1)
dvdauthor-0.6.1.8 (which claims to have the ivtv patch applied)

I have tried patching dvdauthor-0.6.1.1 with the same results, tried version
0.7 as well

I can create the DVD, but a DVD player plays the audio but no video,

xine. vlc, mplayer all work with the raw DVD, and mpeg files, I can fix the
issue if I pass the video through ffmpeg -target ntsc-dvd,

here is the script I am using for testing

record.sh

rm ivtv.mpg
rm DVD/* -Rf
sleep 2;

cp /dev/video0 ivtv.mpg &
pid=$(ps ax | grep "cp /dev/video0" | grep -v ' grep ' | awk '{print $1}')

## This works but requires a faster machine
#ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -target ntsc-dvd ivtv.mpg &
#pid=$(ps ax | grep "ffmpeg -i /dev/video0" | grep -v ' grep ' | awk '{print
$1}')

echo "Creating 60 second video on the pid $pid";
sleep 360;
kill -9 $pid;

## this command will fix video with ffmepg
#ffmpeg -i video0.mpg -target ntsc-dvd ivtv.mpg
dvdauthor -o DVD -x dvd.xml
growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 --dvd-video --dvd-compat DVD
