i strongly suggest that you use a Linux PC because the process would be actually easer to do then if doing this with a Windows PC.
i do this with Firefox with the Video Download-helper add-on.
i use a easy to use, free, DVD authuring / conversion program called DeVeDe to create the DVD image & use K3B CD/DVD burning program to burn the DVD image to a DVD.
once done, it has great results.

Only issue with burning YT content to DVD is if you want to watch something that is too long to be burned to 1 dvd. Like a 3 hour 1952 World Series game.

For the shorter stuff, like 30 minute TV shows, etc., I also burn to DVD.

i don't have that issue with my DVD authoring program, i can fit 6 hours of programming on a 4.7G DVD.

when i make DVDs of half hour shows, i can put 8 Half hour shows or put 6 one hour shows on a 4.7G DVD. the DeVeDe authouring program is very flexable & has a lot of options for customisation.

you will need a Linux PC for this particular app. any modern Linux distribution will do. the apps name is called "DeVeDe" and it is available in the distributions software repositories & in installed with the distributions package manager. i do not think DeVeDe has been ported to Windows.

Ooops, My mistake..they do have a Windows port. i cant vouch if the windows version would have the same feature parody as the Linux version.
heres the link. http://www.devede.org/download/choose/

I downloaded the Firefox down-loader add in and the windows version of DeVeDe and the same 3 hour 1952 World Series game fit on one DVD. About 2.5 of the 4.7 gig. So worked great!!! Thanks for this. Always nice to be able to use multiple devices and techniques to keep cool programming pumping through our vintage sets.
