Free up some memory - shut down some processes. What are your pc specs? Yes w/o a dvd burner VCD is the way you have to go. DVD burners are pretty cheap now - why not pick one up.

Make sure you are not doing anything else/multi tasking while trying to copy and burn the movie. Go to task manager (control alt delete) what programs are running there?
If on the internet I would disconnect then shut down any virus software until the dvd was finished. Some virus software are memory hogs. Also if you have any im's make sure they're shut down too.

Well, if hard drive space is what you want to free then these tips mayl help.

1) Do a "Disk Cleanup" Start --->All Programs --->Accesories
---->System

2) Uninstall useless programs

3) Clean your Internet History under IE.

4) Buy a new HD and DVD Burner, they are cheap nowadays :O)

@stang93:

Just to add to 1Adonis4u's suggestions. Once done with the first 3 steps, reboot.

Good Luck!
