on your windows machine, can you see your linux home directory as a
drive share? If so, you could just burn the dvd in windows from the
drive share directly.

if not, and you can see your windows drive in linux, but not the other way
around, then you will have to copy the files over to windows first. the
trick is to get all the hidden files and things like that. That's why
Hans later suggested to create an iso image in linux, then burn it in windows.

I don't know how to create an image with gui tools, but I can tell
you the command line to type. In my example, I'm going to pretend your
windows drive share is mounted in linux as /mnt/windows so just change
that to wherever your windows drive is mounted ('mount |grep smbfs'
will tell you where it's mounted)

do this as root:

cd /
mkisofs -r -J -o /mnt/windows/home.iso home/

then the file home.iso will be an image file sitting on your windows
machine that can be burned.

hope that helps
