Converting DV Tape to DVD

Sorry! I may have posted this in the wrong Newsgroup earlier. I am needing
help on copying a video from my PC to DVD. I have a Sony DCR-HC20 Handycam. I
copied the video to file on my hard drive (running Windows XP). I have tried
several times to burn a DVD to view on my TV (using Windows Movie Maker,
RecordNow & the Picture Package that came with the camcorder), but the DVD
player(Emerson EWD7003) gives an error that states "Remove disc. Playback
feature may not be available on this disc." The disc(s) play fine on the PC.
I've called both companies, to no avail. Do I need to change the format or
what? If so, how do I do that so it can be played on the 'Big Screen'? Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

movie maker makes hi-mat format cd's, which normal dvd players cannot
recognise. You need some dvd authoring software, such as ulead movie
factory/sonic mydvd/tmpg dvd author etc. which will make the neccessary
conversion from dv-avi to mpeg files.
