I'm using linux rather than windows so I'm assuming that your downloads
are the same format - 480x272 .mov file
Not quite 16:9 but close enough.

I've just had a quick trial on my windoze machine and DeVeDe will work.
There are a lot of advanced settings but for this purpose the defaults
seem ok. Have a search for tutorials there are plenty about. see:

Since it has to convert the video it won't break any speed records but
it produced a reasonable .iso file which plays in VLC, so should be ok
to burn to a dvd.
Recommend Imgburn for this.

Just for info, I keep the size the same and convert to a Divx(xvid) .avi
using mencoder. Then play on my DVD player. Great quality.
