Torrent refers to a delivery method, whereby big files are fed to your computer by dozens of other computers at the same time, making for faster delivery.
The files delivered can be of any type. Maybe mpeg, maybe .AVI, or any number of other video formats.
How the files get to you (torrent or http or ftp or whatever) does not matter. What matters is the format they are stored in on your hard disk.
To get torrent files you need a torrent client (such as the one built into the Opera web browser, or Azureus ( http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ ).
That will deliver the file to your computer. Then you can play it or burn it using what ever software you have for that purpose.
Burning it to DVD in such a way as to allow playing in a regular dvd player requires video authoring software. Do a web search on that. Some new machines come with that software.
Just storing the file on a DVD simply requires regular data burning software like Nero or some such. These won't play in a regular dvd player, only in a computer.
