Well as the movie is already in a compressed format your nearly there Ken you can just save that file onto disk but As you know to play back on a dvd player you want something like svcd format .
I,ll look into what formats you can watch on dvd and get back to you with some more info .

If you write a VCD or SVCD (VCD's are usually good enough if you have a DIVX file) and try and get Mpegs rather than AVI's or convert them beforehand.

I have Nero and I don't know whether it's the same, but it can take anything up to 2 hours to encode an AVI file to Mpeg before it writes which is a pain in the backside. Mpegs write straight away.

Get Nero StartSmart, it so far, for me is the best for making VCD/SVCD's and DVD's and so on.
