Easiest Linux-only way I know off:

1. Use ProjectX (http://sourceforge.net/projects/project-x ) to demux
the DVB stream / cut out commercials I do this via X11, but I've seen
a CLI-way to use it somewhere in the archives.

2. Use mplex to bring the streams back together:
mplex -f 8 -o xyz.mpg xyz.m2v xyz.mp2

3. copy the resulting mpg into a DVD file system with dvdauthor:
dvdauthor -o DVD xyz.mpg

4. Repeat 1-3 until you have all the stuff you want on the DVD

5. Finalize the DVD file system:
dvdauthor -T -o DVD

6. Put a blankDVD in your DVD writer and burn the stuff:
growisofs -Z /dev/WHATEVER-YOUR-DVD-WRITER-IS -dvd-video DVD

On my underpowered PIII 600, the whole process takes about 45 Minutes
for an average movie.
