The format for a standard video DVD is MPEG in a VOB file, and there are
plenty of web pages that give you the specifications for that. There
are programs that should automatically convert your video file into a
standard DVD, I've done that on Linux before, but so long ago that I
don't recall which program, and things have probably changed since then
(Fedora Core 4 era, I think).
ffmpeg & dvdauthor are your friends. It's been a while but I remember
the sequence going something like:
ffmpeg -i MyHomeMovie.m4v -target ntsc-dvd MyHomeMovie.mpg
dvdauthor -t -o MyHomeMovie.dvd -f MyHomeMovie.mpg
creates the TS Structures, then
dvdauthor -t -o MyHomeMovie -f MyHomeMovie.mpg
dvdauthor -T -o MyHomeMovie
mkisofs -dvd-video -o MyHomeMovieDvd.iso MyHomeMovie/
Then burn MyHomeMovieDvd.iso with brasero.
