Yes, I'm pretty sure you can put it on a DVD+-R/RW

Hi,

You can do it as long as you have a DVD+RW drive. You cannot burn a dvd on a CD+RW drive (this is only for CD's).

NOTE: The function of copy/record/burn is the same, therefore if you want to copy files you have to burn/record them onto a DVD or CD.
