What format did the file come down in? If it's an ISO/disc image then you need to burn the disc in a specific way, it could be that you've simply copied the file to the disc and so the player doesn't recognise it.

Ummm - how are you burning it to DVD? itunes has DRM (Digital Rights Management) which means that you can only watch it in itunes itself - you cant take video and put it on a DVD because everyone would simply start giving copies to their mates etc. You can download various other software to allow you to remove DRM - but its a faff I suspect.

So - it wont work if you simply went into windows explorer and copied the file to DVD.

The only way I can think of to cheat at this is by linking your video out cable on your computer to a DVD recorder (i.e. the DVD player/recorder you have sitting under your TV) and then press record while you watch the video on full screen mode. Not 100% sure how well that'd work though - might be a bit pants quality.
