Mac OS X
Recording DVD's on Mac OS X using only free tools

A few days ago I started out on a quest which didn't seem too hard. I have some DVD directories on my disks and want to burn them to a DVD such that it plays in a regular DVD player. Note that these are not the ISO image of a DVD, but simply the directory structure containing the VIDEO_TS directory and the .VOB files within it. There are several legitimate ways to generate a VIDEO_TS directory structure using either free or non-free software tools. For example on a Mac the iDVD app that comes with iLife can save to a VIDEO_TS directory structure.
VirtualBox running Ubuntu accessing host file system on Mac OS X

I have a few Mac OS X systems, in particular a MacBookPro that my job gave me. 2.33 GHZ w/ 2GB of memory Core2Duo. It's a fine and dandy machine and I'm real happy with the performance of VirtualBox on this system. Since my job is really about facilitating running Java on open source OS's like Ubuntu what I need is for a virtualized OS to feel very responsive. But I also need to compile OpenJDK source on that OS.
