There are many programs which will do this for you.\nThe one I use is VSO software's convert x to dvd\n\nIt converts almost all source files to dvd - it will even burn the dvd after the conversion process if you let it.\nReal simple operation, and pretty cheap to boot.\nI have no association with VSO, or any related company - it's just great software in my opinion.

you have to get a burning  cd/dvd drive

You can do it through (Dell) MusicMatch CD burner.  avi's, mpeg's, etc.  But you have to "upgrade" to be able to burn a data disk.  It's about $20, and they just send you a code.  See if you can just get someone else's code.\n\nIf you don't have MusicMatch, see if your CD-burner program has that feature available.

There are programs that let you do that to regular CD-Rs. One is from Roxio which is bundled in their burning suite. (however, i do think you have to use that program from the beginning, you cant just use it on any cd, i BELIEVE, not sure though). I cant remember what its called, sorry. Otherwise, use CD-RWs & throw that disk away and start over.\n\nSorry!

you can't do this to a dvd-r disk. What you can do is buy a brand new for a couple of bucks. This is the society of spending, so re-using something is actually not good for the system. Are you a communist?? ;-)

you need a CD (or DVD) burner and a burning program

If its like it was right out of the box, then no.  It only comes with a CD-RW, and doesnt even burn DVDs much less re-write them.  Youll need to go to a store like Best Buy, Circuit City, or Compusa to get a DVD-RW drive.  they can range from 50 to 125 dollars or so.

many CD-ROM drives have DVD capability.  But you may need to download and install extra drivers for DVD functionality.

nope,not unless its a cd-rw/dvd-rw if not then no,most cd-burners are just strictly cd burners.i think cd-rw/dvd-rw are ussually called combo burners.

You can not save to a normal CD Rom.  You need a CD-RW drive and and CD-R or CD-RW media.

There is not really a way to switch it, unless you turn your CD drive in for a DVD rom drive at some computer store, where you can burn CDs, but usually you can only burn CDs on dell computers. I suggest keeping your CD rom drive and getting a DVD rom drive, then inserting it into your computer so you can burn CDs and also watch DVDs.

Yep. It's just a DVD rom, not a burner. 40x CD read, 8x DVD read.
