No, a DVD is structured like this usually:

Disk Root
  - VIDEO_TS
  - - VIDEO_TS.BUP
  - - VIDEO_TS.IFO
  - - VIDEO_TS.VOB
  - - VTS_01_0.VOB
  - - VTS_01_1.VOB

etc. You sometimes have other folders inside the root (I think AUDIO_TS 
and another one for subtitles iirc).

Basically these files are transcoded (TS) into different formats so that 
DVD players can read them correctly.

You can't really create these 'by hand', so you'll need to use a program 
in Ubuntu (I use Windows for video editing) that is similar to Adobe 
Encore - some people have suggested DeVeDe - I'll go with the consensus 
and say use that :-)
