Depends on the video compression.

Check this site for some good conversion guides:

Also depends on what format your DVD player can play.
I have a Philips DVP642 which play almost anything so you can put just the data back to back and watch it...

there has to be an easier way

like drag and drop and burn

What type of a file is it? If they are BIN's, extract the mpg file out and burn it on the disc as data.

Try to see if it will read mpg's so you dont have to convert to dvd.
