Actually, it is that easy if you have the right software. Though I'm not sure what the best /free/ software is.

EDIT: Because I can, I'm currently making a DVD5 version of Star Wars v2.5 from the AVCHD (using only English subs and the first 3 audio tracks). I'll be out of town for a couple days so I'll have to wait to seed it on Monday afternoon (US CST).

In the mean time, someone can tell me whether making it from the AVCHD /really/ would cause noticeable compression artifacts instead of me assuming things and talking out my rear end. And if that's the case, said someone should be nice and make a proper DVD5 since I don't currently have the MKV to encode from.

So, I could just burn a .vob file to a DVD, without the folder structure, and it will work?

No, I didn't say that.

VOB files with no folder structure will work on your computer, not on your DVD player. Albeit, since several individual VOB files are used, watching just one of them won't do you any good either.

I have ConvertXtoDVD, and it can use various video sources (including either a complete AVCHD or just its .m2ts file) to create proper VOB files /and/ a proper DVD folder structure that you can use to burn straight to a DVD disc.

However, as has been said, the whole conversation about how to convert this film to DVD (from any format) is moot because a DVD5 version already exists with links on tehparadox. Use that. Don't bother doing it yourself.
