It's been many years since I made a DVD the hard way (these days I have
an ancient iMac and Final Cut Pro, and a HDD/DVD video recorder).  But
when you say it produces a good ISO file, are you just looking at the
files put into it?

A DVD-video disc is not just a disc with the usual files on it, there's
a flag in the header of the disc (so to speak) that say it's a "video"
disc.  While some cheaper DVD players would play anything thrown at
them (if they could), other DVD decks are more particular about how to
handle an inserted disc.  DVD authoring tools need a DVD-video mode to
do this correctly (which they may do automatically, or you might have
to select some option).

I only have Brasero on an old CentOS box with a faulty optical drive,
but inside the program are a bunch of plugins.  Many are ghosted out
since those plugins isn't installed on my system, but I recall some of
them were essential for what you're trying to do, and often only
available from an external repo (which may not exist any more).  You
may need to install more than just the ones you already have.

growisofs and wodim were other tools I remember using in the past.  You
mention wodim worked for you, others have mentioned the Brasero is
virtually abandoned.
