I'm wondering how I can convert iPhone videos into a format that I can use a burner such as LiquidCD to burn a VIDEO_TS folder onto a DVD. Preferably a tool that's simple and free (or at least inexpensive). Mac OS only. Thanks!

With iDVD version 7 (the latest, not upgraded since iLife '08) you can drag an .m4v or .mp4 directly onto a project. This might even work with earlier versions (don't have any to test). Every Mac in recent memory should have a copy.

Not surprisingly, the videos don't play if bought through the iTunes Store.

No kidding! I'll have to try this out next time I have the chance (couple days or so). Thanks! – CaptSaltyJack Apr 27 '11 at 14:47

http://handbrake.fr/

HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

EDIT: Handbrake is a cool program which doesn't actually do DVD authoring, sorry.

I thought the question was asking for the opposite. To put an mp4 into DVD format. – James T Apr 27 '11 at 3:42
My apologies, I was under the impression that Handbrake could do DVD authoring. My memory is poor apparently. It doesn't make sense to me that it doesn't, but apparently this is the case. – colechristensen Apr 27 '11 at 3:49

You had asked for "Simpler" -- the easiest one I found is Evom. It's drag and drop:
