OK first off you need DVD blank disk, not a CD blank disk
CD - will only read music or image files
DVD - will read Image, Music, and Video files

You need to burn using a "DVD-RW" compatible drive. Also, if your DVD player can play CD-Rs and CD-RWs, that means you can put songs onto the CD-R or CD-RW and your DVD player will play the songs. Keep in mind, DVDs are video discs, while CDs are audio disks. You do not buy movies on CDs, just like you do not buy an album on DVD (unless its a music video, but thats another story). You can find affordable DVD-RW drives at places like walmart. Also, once you have the ability to burn DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, you should burn your videos to a DVD-R or DVD-RW using Windows Movie Maker or Nero. Both of these work great, and I have both.

For a CD-R to play video in most DVD players, it must be in VCD (or variant) format. If you really want to do it, read the guides on the site below.

A DVD player only plays DVDs, it won't properly read the CD-R

You must convert the video to MPEG format...
Use #1 Video Converter to do...
Then, the converted video, drag to any CD/DVD Burner Software, such as Nero Burning ROM, and burn it...
Good luck...!!
P.D. sorry for my english, i'm from mexico....
