How to Copy Movies Onto Blank CDs

You can copy movies onto blank CDs by burning the CDs as data discs. Doing so will allow you to store up to 700 megabytes of movies on a single CD-R. The only disadvantage of copying movies onto CDs is that they can only be played on a computer. They are not compatible with standard DVD players.
