You probably ought to ask this on either a k3b or a kde list.  My
experience with k3b leads me to believe that you have to have a
complete DVD file structure set up to create a video DVD with it (if
you're going to use that format), which means you need the info files,
vob files and some others I can't recall off the top of my head.
There are other options, too - check out dvdauthor or qdvdauthor, for
example.
