I heard taht magnets will wipe a disc clean. Is this an easier way to wipe RWs? Instead of using the program or whatever can I just rub a magnet on it? And what would happen if I did this on a non-RW.

Since DVDs aren't magnetic media, it will just do nothing except possibly wrecking your disc by rubbing a magnet on it. I think it's safe to say that the software erase is the way to go.

Agreed .. I've had video tapes that were damaged by placing them on a stereo speaker but I've left discs on speakers for weeks at a time and no damage at all ...

the burner uses a red laser light to read the dvd or cd disk,no Magnetism will never hurt a dvd or cd disk.

A LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is an optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Laser light is typically near-monochromatic, i.e. consisting of a single wavelength or hue, and emitted in a narrow beam. This is in contrast to common light sources, such as the incandescent light bulb, which emit incoherent photons in almost all directions, usually over a wide spectrum of wavelengths. Laser action is understood by application of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics theory (see laser science).

The verb "to lase" means "to produce coherent light" or possibly "to cut or otherwise treat with coherent light", and is a back-formation of the term laser.
