I've seen behind the scenes on some TV channels, and on DVD's and I've seen shots of the director yelling instructions to actors while the camera was rolling and the scene was going on.
How does this work? How is the director able to yell out directors, but the mic doesn't pick it up and we don't hear it in the finished product.
The mic does pick up the director. In the final product the directors voice is taken out and the dialogue, sound effects and music are put in.

Depending upon how the mics are hooked up they may be very far from the director to begin with (don't want that camera noise recorded after all) so the Director's voice may not be recorded as loud as you would think.
In other scenes they may know that they are going to delete all the sound in favor of a really loud soundtrack for that scene so the director can babble right through it if need be.
Having said all that its probably best to be quiet on the set, that way you don't distract the actors and force extra costs during post.

IT ALSO DEPENDS ON THE SCENE.
IF THE SCENE ISN'T A BIG DIALOGUE SCENE, THE EDITOR CAN JUST FIX THE SOUND IN POST.
