#!/bin/sh
DIR=$1
NAME=$(basename "${DIR}")
hdiutil makehybrid -udf -udf-volume-name "${NAME}" -o "${NAME}" "${DIR}"

#!/bin/sh
DIR=$1
NAME=$(basename "${DIR}")
mkisofs -f -dvd-video -udf -V "${NAME}" -o "${NAME}".iso "${DIR}"

Both just dump the iso wherever you execute the script.
I'm not sure if name cleanup is necessary, some players might not like lower case and spaces. Then again, that might not matter at all. DVD player is fine with both anyway.

also, mkisofs seems to be about twice as fast (based on one test for a 1GB image (1 vs 2 minutes)) and creates slightly smaller ISOs (~200k)
