There are many different MPEG2 codecs, and CCE is generally considered one of the best. The resolution needs to be 720X480, anamorphic is optional. The audio can be MPEG1-Layer2, PCM or AC3, and the audio resolution needs to be 48khz, although it can be either 16bit or 24 bit.

There are various other settings (I frames, B frames, max bitrate, etc) that have to conform to the DVD spec, so it gets kinda complicated the more you mess with things. I would advise using Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere (or something similar) to render the video and audio so that it is within spec.

I personally use Vegas 6.0 to render video and Architect 3.0 to make the DVD itself.
