Do a search on the mythtv archives and you'll find lots of great info,
including a script to do exactly what you want.  I'm at work, and lazy, so
can't post it here.

In essence, you have to at least remux the file to be dvd compliant.  Then
you'll use dvdauthor, and finally I use mkisofs to make the ISO image, and
dvdrecord to burn that to a blank DVD-R.  Worked fine on my player and a
friend's stand-alone player.  I'm guessing DVD reader software on a computer
will be even more forgiving.
