[solved]growisofs doin my head in! cant get it to work!

hi,

i have spent a good 5 or so hours trying to burn an avi to dvd video. I hit the same error every time. i have tried using mencoder and ffmpeg to convert, done this a bout 5 times just to be sure, used dvdauthor to create the correct format, done this with a xml and cl arguments bout 5 times as well. still gettin the same error from growisofs everytime!

growisofs -dvd-compat -dvd-video -speed=4 -Z /dev/sr0 ./dvd/*
Executing 'mkisofs -dvd-video ./dvd/AUDIO_TS ./dvd/VIDEO_TS | builtin_dd of=/dev/sr0 obs=32k seek=0'
I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
genisoimage: Could not find correct 'VIDEO_TS' directory.
genisoimage: Unable to make a DVD-Video image.
Possible reasons:
  - VIDEO_TS subdirectory was not found on specified location
  - VIDEO_TS has invalid contents
:-( write failed: Input/output error

i think the key line being;

genisoimage: Could not find correct 'VIDEO_TS' directory.

would really appreciate some help with this. done lots of googling of it, and there are lots of similiar but not the same issues.
help!!

sorry, was using

growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video /path/to/video

swapped to this and solved

growisofs -Z /dev/cdrw -v -l -iso-level 3 -R -J -speed=2 -joliet-long -graft-points /files/=/path/to/files/
