Wondering what's the easiest way to do it without transcoding.  It must be playable by any standalone DVD player (not a computer).

Be aware that the spec for an mpeg2 television transmission is a bit more flexible than the spec for mpeg2 for a DVD, _most_ modern DVD players will play unreencoded mpeg2 transmissions but not _all_.

The older the DVD player and the more recent the recording the less chance of it working properly. Broadcast encoders (even mpeg2) have developed significantly in the last few years, the DVD spec is exactly as it was when it was written.

I find it mostly works, and when it doesn’t, go try a different dvd player.
