Technically true, but in practice, I've never found a DVD player in the US
that wouldn't play MPEG audio.  Some very old models might not, but anything
bought in the last 5-6 years almost certainly won't have a problem with it.

I've burned many discs with PVR-150 MPEG files, but I use mythburn to create
them.   It demultiplexes and remultiplexes automatically.  It may well be
that raw MPEG-2 files from the PVR-150 are not exactly to DVD
specifications; I've never tried that.
