How can I put Captured files to DVD?

[Datastream]

Be gentle with me! I have looked through many of the FAQs but am still baffled.

I have a new HP Pavilion t760a which has a TV tuner and "Intervideo Home Theatre" software. I can capture a TV program OK, and it appears as a MPEG2 file.

However it appears that if I burn this to a DVD my standalone DVD player - a JVC XV-N312S - won't recognise it.

I am obviously doing the wrong thing - but what? Do I need another program and if so, are there any freebies to use? (I only want to do it just to be able to say that I've done it!)

TIA

You need to author a DVD with your captured mpeg as source material. Free alternatives are DVDAuthorGUI, GUI for DVDAuthor, IfoEdit...
For a n00b (and even in general), TMPGEnc DVD Author comes highly recommended, and has a 30 day trial.

Thanks for that: would Intervideo WINDVD Creator which shipped with the machine also do this job? (I have just found it!)
