Burning DVDs, CDs

ghost2My technical knowledge is limited. Basically, I learn things on my own and hope I don't break anything in the process. Lately I've been trying to figure out how to burn DVDs. Is this process supposed to be some really easy thing that everyone else "gets" yet perpetually manages to elude me?
Now, I can't do this on my nine-year-old home computer, because she's hopelessly outdated. But one computer at the local college has a DVD writer attached. So far I've figured out how to burn CDs. I managed to actually copy a DVD that works perfectly well in my DVD player. But I cannot work out how to burn my own DVD. I've downloaded files and tried to burn them but failed. I'm not even sure if the computer currently contains any programs that allow for DVD burning. If it does, I haven't been able to decipher the instructions. Besides that, I've downloaded roughly 20 free programs that proved useless.
After spending four afternoons trying, I've more or less given up.
