You need a DVD burner to burn DVD's. Although these drives are coming
down in price, they are still close to $200usd. Unless you specified a
DVD burner and paid extra for it when you bought your new computer, you
have a DVD-ROM drive which will *read* DVD's and CD's, but not burn
either. You can use WinDVD to view DVD's in your drive.
