You've been given a lot of advice on what to do but I think you have the necessary solution at your finger tips already.

You have a CD burner but not a DVD one, that's OK because you can burn your anime films as either SVCD (Super Video CD) or just plain VCD (Video CD). Now the picture quality will not be as good as DVDs but you should still be able to play these CDs on any domestic DVD player made in the last 4 or 5 years.

I am guessing here but I believe that SVCDs and VCDs formatted CDs have never been popular in the US so most people will not know anything about them but they are a sure fire way of freeing up space on your hard disk and getting your anime films into a format that you can play on your domestic DVD player.

The burning software that can burn in SVCD or VCD CDs is Nero (Version 5x and upwards), there may be other CD/DVD burning software with SVCD/VCD capabilities but that will be for other forum members to say.

Hope this helps.
