What platform are you using?

The simplest method may be to use some intermediary scripting language, 
like shell scripts, AppleScript, or VBScript to send the parameters to 
the DVD software.

In Ubuntu (and most other Linux flavors) this could be done through 
Brassero's command-line interface, making shell calls from LiveCode.

I would imagine most similar DVD packages on other platforms are also 
scriptable.
