You're laptop does have the right software. Just import the videos into the dvd writer program, such as showbiz.
Just make sure you have the codecs required.
(If you can watch and hear the videos, you have the codecs)
P.S. Format, not formateing.
You need a DVD authoring program to convert the files into DVD "FORMAT".
You CANNOT "FORMAT" a DVD+R or DVD-R, only DVD+RW and DVD-RW.
You can purchase this: http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=312093&pfp=BROWSE
It will play DVDs, VCDs, SVCDs, Divx, Xvid...
