Yes, but you will have to copy them to your HD first. CD-RW will not read or write DVD's. Only your DVD player/writer will.

This would be when the 7200 rpm IDE ATA 133 drive earns its keep.

how do I copy the dvd movie to my HD?

Are you sure you have a DVD-RW and not just a DVD drive? If you don't know, you have a DVD drive.
