[ excerpt from developer's www site with modifications ]

tovid is a collection of video disc authoring tools; it can help
you create your own DVDs, VCDs, and SVCDs for playback on your home
DVD player. It has a command-line interface as well as a graphical
frontend.

You may find tovid useful if: 
- you have a digital camcorder, and want to share home movies with
  family and friends
- you are a 3D artist or animator, and want to put your portfolio
  on DVD for easy distribution
- your video files are eating up too much hard drive space, and you
  want to back them up onto a portable medium
