Are you asking if you can burn the files to CD or DVD and then play them in a DVD player?
DVD players should be able to play properly encoded mpeg-1 files (I think, and possibly others). They also have divx dvd players that can play divx files.

If you make a video DVD or have a DVD player that can play these formats, you can play it on a DVD player.

Buy a copy of Toast Titanium. It will encode your source video and make proper video CDs and DVDs playable on standalone players.

DVD players support only very specific formatting: DVD-Video, and in some cases Video CD (and outside of the USA, Super Video CD).
DVD-Video is a UDF and ISO9660-formatted DVD-ROM disc with very specific folder and file structures.
Video CD is not a CD-ROM at all, but is rather essentially an audio CD with raw MPEG1 data in place of PCM audio.
Either way, they require programs that know how to lay down video according to the specific standards. The two suggestions so far, Toast and iDVD, are the most sensible ones.
