Some additional information would be helpful, such as:

- What format is the streaming video file in?
- What hardware do you already have? (DVD recorder, huge hard disk, etc)
- Do you want a DVD that can be played on a standalone DVD player,
connected to a TV set? Or do you just want to store the video file,
for watching it on the computer?

Regards,
Scriptor
