Cf. VLC's How to Create a DVD.
It is also possible to record to x264 with VLC, using something like this:
vlc v4l:/dev/video$DEV:norm=ntsc:frequency=77250:size=640x480:channel=5:\ adev=/dev/dsp$DEV:audio=0:stop-time=$TIM --sout #transcode{vcodec=h264,\ acodec=mpga,vb=512,ab=96,samplerate=32000,venc=ffmpeg{keyint=80,hurry-up,\ vt=800000},deinterlace}:std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=$DIR/$FIL.avi}' -I dummy
This doesn't actually work -- you may need to give the full samplerate as "32000,16,2" not to get speeded-up audio, and you may need to set the aspect ratio. You may also want "strict-rc" as an ffmpeg parameter, said to help compatibility (but maybe not with x264?); possibly add "channels=2" to the audio parameters. There's also the problem that you can't put variables inside the parameter lists -- not sure how to get around that, ask on vlc-devel. Work in progress.
