Converting MP4 to PAL DVD

dvdencodingopen source

I have a dozen or so mp4 files I downloaded from youtube. I would like to put these onto a DVD for a relative (He only has a DVD player, no PC or USB slot on tv)

I think DVD's have two folders audio_ts and video_ts. Can anyone point me to, or provide a workflow to convert the mp4 files to pal dvd's.

I will be using ffmpeg on a MBP OSX 10.10.5

I don't wont to lose any quality at all if possible. I have used ffprobe to get details on the mp4's, output is below. I have read some examples on converting the mp4's and outputting to a VOB file, but it doesn't mention anything about the audio and I'm at a loss with what quality will be be like.

Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'movie.mp4':

I'd also appreciate a breakdown of ffprobe output, I'm confused that stream #0:0 video reports h264 and avc1 ? I thought these are two different types of video codec?

Many thanks.

Try this open source software called "Burn". I have used it. It has many options for DVD burning.
