You need to re-encode to a DVD compliant resolution. With that resolution source I would reccomend re-encoding to 352x480. Take a look at the guides section for more help.

Your video is SVCD resolution, it can be put on a DVD but it is not compliant so some players will refuse to play it, while other players won't mind at all. If you still wish to put it on a DVD without re-encoding then there are several guides to help you. You could do a search under All Guides> Format Conversion> SVCD to DVD.

Here's a guide from Baldrick.

Some dvdplayers can play non standard resolution dvds...You can bypass Tmpgdvdauth check patching the vob headers with DVDpatcher ,setting the standard 720x480..don't forget to patch-back to 480x480 before authoring starts.
If you want anyway change resolution (safest method) , I suggest Mainconcept MPEG encoder, it gave me good results in very short times (like 110% of movie duration with an Athlon 1,3GHZ 128MB DDR )
