Hi. I have some videos on my computor and they take up a lot of room on my comp. I was wondering if anyone knew how to put videos on a CD-R. Thanks.

Dvd or VHS.... Dvd use dvdecrypt to download from your internal dvd player to your hard drive ( so yes you will have to put it on the hard drive for a bit) then dvdshrink to shrink the dvd to fit on to a cd or dvd.... but you will need either a dvd burner or cd burner.... if it if VHS or something else you will need a video capture device... Both dvdecrypt and dvdshrink are free google them
