Probably because I'm an AV noob trying to make something that will 'just work' for anyone.

I've tried a few other formats, I'll give "h.264 mpeg4" a go before resorting to DVD.

Burning the whole conf would be a bit much.... I'm just after a few talks.

You should be able to script up something that uses ffmpeg to transcode to mpeg4 (use h264 for video, mp3 or aac for audio).  Burn those files to a DVD (will still require multiple DVD's).
