You can't burn DVDs or CDs without sufficiant space on your hard disk, most if not all burning software need to create an image file on your hard disk. So, for example, to burn a full 700MB CD your software will need anything from 700MB - 1,500MB to create an image file.

Also, I am surprised that you do not understand that you need a CD or DVD burner to burn CDs. You cannot transfer files to a CD (or DVD) you have to burn them.

Therefore, you will have to buy yourself an external DVD burner (they can burn DVDs or CDs whereas a CD burner can only burn CDs) and, with NERO 7, burn yourself some DVD films.

One other thing, a computer can play DVDs with the right software and, of course, computer files but domestic DVD players can only play certain specially formatted files, e.g. VOB (DVD) and mpg (SVCD and/or VCD). There are other files but only the latest DVD players can play them.
