OK, I was able to figure out how to record the DVD. I used

growiosfs -dvd-video -Z /dev/dvd $2

And I got a DVD thta plays the video perfectly. But has no audio, at
least when played back by myth's "Play DVD" fucntion. I figured if
it didn't work there, there really was no sense in trying it in
my DVD player, right?

What am I doing wrong here?

Forgive my stupiity, this is my first exposure to DVD's at all. 
I'm still figuring out all the basics, like what the different
types of writable DVD's are :-(

Thanks, again.
