You need special software that will convert it to proper DVD format. Usually, it works depending where you are. If you are in the U.S make sure to convert it to the NTSC format. If you are in Europe to convert it in PAL format.

I used to use program called DVDSanta. It’s good program. You can convert anything into a DVD format and it burns it for you. There is also DivxtoDVD, this is the one I’m currently using and it is great. You may want to try that.
