Hello, a good place to start is cdrecord -help.
If you are on linux/unix "man -M /opt/schily/share/man cdrecord" gives 
you the manual (if you compiled from source, otherwise a mere "man 
cdrecord" will be enough). Also check
http://cdrtools.sourceforge.net/private/man/cdrecord/index.html.

Regarding your problem, I think you should burn an iso file, not the mp4 
files directly.
mkisofs -J -r -V NAME -o file.iso file1.mp4 file2.mp4 ...
Once done, cdrecord file.iso.
-J and -r add Joliet and Rockridge extensions to file.iso (for 
compatibility reasons), -V set the name to be displayed by the iso file 
(optional).
cdrecord has a lot of options (I usually pass -dao driveropts=burnfree)

I hope it helps,
