    Wait, you need to be a lot more clear about what you're trying to do here:
    Do you want to copy existing hard copies onto blank DVD's,
    or copy movie files on your computer to a blank DVD?

    Either way, you'll need special software.
    I recommend Nero or Alcohol 120.
    What comes with your SZ should work too.

    Do you have the DVDs? If you do you need to install a program called DVD shrink. It is illegal to make copies if you do not have the original disk. You also can't sell these DVDs for profit.

    After you use DVD shrink to get your ISO file you will need a program like Alcohol 120% to burn that ISO or mount it.

    If you need more help I will try to walk you through it. First get those two programs though.
