First of all, you don't have to burn them on a cd in order to watch them. If you just want to watch them on your computer, go for it. Hit up the newsgroups and other resources to find what you want. If you want to be able to play them in your DVD player, it's a little more tricky. You have to convert the files into different formats and make what they call VCD's. For more info on that, go to http://www.vcdhelp.com/. That site will tell you how to make your own VCD's using different types of programs and will give you the links to download the programs.
