You can't write files to a CD or DVD without the proper software. You need what is known as burning software. Nero is a good example of such software. When you use it, you select the files you want to put on the disk, set the burn parameters (limited by the disk you're using), then wait. I burn about 11 GB every time I run backup, doing this across 3 disks. I'm unaware of any unlimited, malware-free freeware burning programs though - search Google or wait for someone else to respond.
