Running out of hard drive space-Please HELP!

[vcd4me]

I decided to download a complete series it's 65 episodes (5 years)

Well I'm running out of hard drive space.

These maybe stupid questions but ....

1.without converting to mpeg how do I put these avi files onto a cd-rw ?

2. Also after I put them onto cd-rw then how do I rip them back to my computer at a later date?

Thanks in advance

to answer question 1: burn them as a data cd
2: just copy and paste

if your just want to store the avi files on a cdrw then you would burn as a data cd in nero not vcd or anything esle. then when you want to put it back on your hard drive just drag and drop off of the cd.

pretty simple really.

use the wizard in nero(cd>compile a new cd>datacd). lately i have had to burn twice because the first one keeps showing up as an audio cd? not sure why this is,but the second one worked fine. i haven't had nero that long so it is probably something i'm doing wrong.
