    Nope, they both burn in different ways with different lazers

    Yes it is possible. Just stick a blank dvd in your cd writer and burn it.

    If you want to burn a DVD-R with a CD-R/W burner, the answer is NO.

    For a short clip...yes. Check out Mini-DVD. However, most standalone DVD players will refuse to play them. For an entire disk...no. You have to get a DVD burner. Start saving those pennies...

    LOL. For best results, spray with lighter fluid first. Bwaah-haah-haaaa.
    The glass is neither half-full, nor half-empty.
    It is simply twice as big as it needs to be.

    A CD-R burned with DVD data files is sorta like a DVD but it only holds a very short ammout of video and only a few DVD players can read them. You'd likely be better sticking with VCD or SVCD in that case.
