I have an MP4 movie on disc, how do I play it on a DVD player?

Question

I had a movie on iTunes that I copied to disc (DVD-R) so I could watch it on the larger TV screen. It's MP4 format, tho, and only plays in iTunes or Quicktime. I tried to play it on my DVD player, but it wouldn't work.

How can I make it so the movie will play on DVD?
