some of the packages you need to install in order to do this, though I do not

to the correct format and then creates the file structure, then you can have it 
create an iso image, or you can usually just point Brasero to the folder it 
created. There are other applications out there, but most require you already 
have the video in the correct format already. The interface is somewhat 
clunky, but there are plenty of how-to's for it out there.

Oops, I did forget to mention here that brasero needs the program "vcdimager" 
to create a videoCD, which is probably the quickest and easiest way to get 
where  you want to go.  I do believe  you can burn a videoCD to a dvd. You can 
easily install vcdimager using any package manager. To get the mplex gstreamer 
plugin, try installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
