If you are trying to make a data CD, then you could just try dragging and dropping the files. With two windows open, the actual drive with the blank CD, and the window with the data to transfer, this is possible. Just move each individual file over to the blank CD. It essentially copies them over. I'm not sure about all computers, but mine will write them automatically. Otherwise you would look for a "Burn to CD" or "Write files" type option. I hope this helps.

First, check your drive. If it is compatible with DVD's and CD's, then your o.k. Second, check your disc. Can you see if it's already been used? Is it DVD-R; CD-R? or DVD-RW./CD-RW? If it's DVD-RW or CD-RW then you can use it again even if you have written on it. Because CD-R's are only one time use, you put your data on it and then it seals the disc. Next, check to see if your file size that you want to write to the disc doesn't exceed the disc limit. If you have a 10 MB disc, you can only put 10 mega-bytes worth of data on it. If the file size is too big, then the computer will reject the command.

Check to see if your computer has a DVD burner or just a CD burner. If it's just a CD burner then you cannot burn videos onto CDs.

If you DO have a dvd burner on your laptop, make sure you have the recordable dvd and not a cd in the slot.
