Do you mean as a playable DVD disc?
This is a detailed link https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/convert-video-using-vlc

If your friend wants to play the dvd on her DVD player connected to the tv, at step 6 select Video for MPeg 4 1080

Download VLC here https://www.videolan.org/
The obvious question to be asked here is as to whether the lady's computer has a DVD writer built into it. Otherwise, unless she's got a friend who can burn the disc for her, she'll need to buy an external DVD writer, such as this one:

Then she simply needs some suitable burning software. While VLC, as recommended by Barry is a fantastic program, using it seems to be adding unnecessary complication to a very simple task. All that's needed (once a DVD writer is available, with a suitable blank DVD inserted into it) is to use Ashampoo Burning Studio Free:

Simply tell it that you want to burn a movie DVD, add the three relevant files to the file selection area and commence the burning process.

NB: While many DVD players can recognise and play DVDs that have been burned by a computer, not all can. So the lady would need to check that any DVD player she intended to play the disc in supports the type of disc that she uses to burn her Hollywood masterpiece.

Many thanks all, plenty for me to try there :)
I'm not what she ultimately wants to do with the videos but most TV's have a USB port and will play straight off that so it may just be worth trying that as an option in the first place as it's cheap and easy.
I omitted the part about copying the files to a USB stick but of course that will need to be done.
