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.
