You are missing the last parameter of the mkisofs command. You need to

Duh! - switch the brain on, Anne. OK - but when I get to the burn command it
tells me that it has found a dvd media, but then says the data may not fit on
the disk. It goes on to say that most cds will only take 90minutes. Do I
need to add anything into the command to tell it that it's a dvd?
ISTR that there is a package that adds tools for dvd writing, and that may not
be installed. If that's what it needs, can you remind me of the package
name?
dvd+rw-tools
This package includes the growisofs command, which can write DVDs "on
the fly" without the intermediate ISO file creation.
e.g.
growisofs -speed=2 -Z /dev/dvdwriter -R -J file ...
