Inventive Software

I searched for a tool that could do this, but couldn't find anything, as this is my first foray into this territory, and therefore don't know what I'm looking for!
1) Is there a lossless transcoding program that can take the MPEG-2 video and an audio stream from a DVB-T or DVB-S TS stream, and place them in a DVD-ready VOB? They're both DVD compliant, so this should work pretty much out of the box, right?
2) Is there a program that can write the IFO files with the VOBs already present so that all that's required is burning to disc?
That question doesn't apply if the same software for 1) can do the IFO writing.
3) As an aside, is there something out there that can write chapters in the IFO where the adverts are? Manually searching for the chapter times is absolutely fine.
And the reason I'm after said software is because I have an HTPC project (that's not for me, but for a relative) in its very early stages and would like to experiment to make it almost idiot-proof, ideally command-line usable so I can stick a front-end that's basically a clickable button along the lines of "convert program to DVD".
Free software would be best, open source even better, that way if pushed I can add the features I require myself. :D
