video formats

My CD hasn't been rejected. I haven't made a copy yet.
I'm asking how to copy the video and onto what kind of media so the copy can be read on a DVD player. Since I don't have one (I watch videos on my Mac) I can't experiment to figure it out.

Since no one on this forum was addressing my questions completely I went down to the Apple Store, where I found someone who could. The "Genius" there said:

1) No matter how short it is I should use a DVD because on a CD the video part either wouldn't record or it couldn't be read (I don't remember which he said).
2) I didn't need to worry about the format if the original DVD would work on a DVD player because the copy would be just the same.
3) I copied it in Disk Utility, which made a dmg of my original (Images > New > Image from disc). Then it asked for my disc and burned it.

The copy was successful. There was only one problem: I had no way to name the disc. I tried again by inserting the new disc first and naming it, but it didn't make any difference, the generic name once again was attached to the copy.

So, does anyone know how to make this copy WITH its having the name I want?

When you copy a disc through Disk Utilities there is no opportunity to name the new disc and it doesn't default to the name of the one it's copying.

If you try to do an end run and insert the new disc and name it before burning through DU, DU ignores this name and still burns to the generic name, leaviing 2 icons on the desktop, the one that contains the burned material with the generic name and an empty one with the desired name.

Anybody out there who can tell me another way to do it?

It's been more than a week since I posted my update from the Apple Store. But the question still remains, how do I copy this disc and give it its own name instead of the Disk Utility default DVD–VIDEO–RECORDER? Doesn't anybody out there know? Is it that it can't be done?
