Hmmm...

Experimentation shows that if the someone actually enters semicolons into the author names, then they will be included in the path in the library. I tried this, changing an author from 'A, B' to 'A; B' and voila(!) 'A; B' appeared as a folder in my library tree. One could argue that calibre's path sanitization should prevent this, but currently it doesn't.

One way out of this is to zip the library folder first, then write that zip to the DVD. And hope that the DVD is large enough...

Another way out is to not use ';' in author names, but that is a matter-of-preference for the OP.
