More specifically, the PVR-250 files are (mostly) standard MPEG-2 program streams.

As long as you specified a DVD-compliant recording profile (For NTSC, these are
720x480, 352x480, and 352x240 at 8 Mbits/sec or less, VBR allowed, it seems that
audio must be 48 KHz 384 kbps), all you need to do is remultiplex the stream and
feed it to dvdauthor.  Scripts for that have been posted 2-3 times in the past 2
weeks or so, check the archives.

(Hmm, maybe this should be put in the FAQ???)
