You need to expand on the dvdauthor command.  Instead of:

   dvdauthor -o dvdimage -f dvdmpg 

you can add more mpegs to your dvd image like so:

   dvdauthor -o dvdimage -f dvdmpg1 dvdmpg2 [...]

This implies the need to create the additonal dvd-compliant mpegs,
one for each show you want to put on dvd.

mpeg2desc -a0 < originalshow1.nuv > aud0 & 
mpeg2desc -v0 < originalshow1.nuv > vid0 & 
mplex -f 8 -V -o dvdmpg1 aud0 vid0 & 

mpeg2desc -a0 < originalshow2.nuv > aud0 & 
mpeg2desc -v0 < originalshow2.nuv > vid0 & 
mplex -f 8 -V -o dvdmpg2 aud0 vid0 & 

...and then when you are done creating these, finish off with dvdauthor:

dvdauthor -o mydvd -f dvdmpg1 dvdmpg2 
dvdauthor -o mydvd -T 


I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to put it all together in a nice
generic script :)
