You're much nearer than you think.  First, you do not need to change the 
format or to edit those files in any way.  As well as the files you list, you 
should have a directory called AUDIO_TS.  Use k3b or any other burning 
application to copy both AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS onto your dvd.  (It doesn't 
matter if AUDIO_TS is empty.)

You then have a playable DVD.  However, you will need other packages installed 
to play them, as those are not supplied with FC, due to potential illegality 
in some countries.  You can get them through some of the external 
repositories, probably freshrpms or livna.  You certainly need libdvdcss, and 
you should get every codec package you can see, as you will also need them 
for mp3 and some other multimedia formats.
