That's Wonderful !

Let's see if I can answer your other questions

Let's say I buy the dvd+ or - R thingee, and I burn a video. And I play it back, what happens the next time I want to use the same DVD + or - thing?
Here I wasn't referring to the player itself, but the actual disc you would burn the video onto. You can purchase them on a spindle, like the one here:

And, they come in either the +R, +RW, -R, -RW format. RW means ReWrite. You can add to them later (see my first post).

I assume I can put several videos on one dvd thingee right?

So do I assign it a place on the dvd thingee or does it do it all by itself (burn I mean).

Let's say I make 5 videos using my webcam. And I want to put those 5 videos on the dvd thingee. When I view it, will it go from one video to another, I gather I name all these videos? I am probably answering my own question, but since this is VIRGIN territory for me, I'm like Macguyver. I like to learn BEFORE I do.
Yes, & Maybe. Yes you can put more than one video on a disc. How you do it depends on the software you are using. Windows Media Player doesn't handle that well. So, if you want to start doing that, you might want to look at getting a program for video creation. The one Jo*Mar suggested is free, and would be the best place for you to start. I found the link for the free download:

I want to get the discs, burn stuff and play the stuff on my Audiovox, so which dvd thing do I get?
In one of your other posts, you said that your AudioVox can only accept the following disc formats: DVD, CD AND MP3. None of those formats are formats for discs created on a computer. They are formats for commercially created DVDs and CDs.

If you want to be able to play the discs you create on your computer, you will need a different DVD player - one that does accept CDs and DVDs created on a computer.

Here is a link for one at Walmart.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Philips-DV...#ProductDetail

It is under $50, and if you click on the Product Details and scroll down to the line for Media Type (The format of media it will accept), you will see the following. All in blue are computer generated formats. Your AudioVox doesn't support those formats.

CD-R, CD-RW, SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD+R, Kodak Picture CD, DVD, CD, Video CD

You would really like having the router and laptop. I hate to admit what computer junkies we are. Between my husband and I, we have 5 computers: 1 Desktop, 3 laptops, and 1 Netbook.

We originally started with 1 Desktop for me, and a laptop I used when I travelled with my job. He had a laptop for home, and one to keep in his truck (truck driver). Then last year we bought a Netbook to hook up to our TV so we can watch TV shows over the internet - we really hate commercials.

Now, I'm collecting SSDI, and not working. He is out of work, but we somehow still manage to use all 5 computers.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
