Erica, Paul, Mark and others who responded.

thanks for your replies. its was much easier than I thought and as 
suggested, I took the DVD+RW burned on a DVD home recorder (Phillips 
985) -  put it in my superdrive and it plays in DVD player and toast 
can copy to DVD-R or RW. this is great.
thanks again.
