No, your computer is nowhere near good enough. Even if you could somehow get it to run, it would take days to do one dvd. Even the best processors and burners take over an hour per DVD

Your hard drive is also way too small. Even if the whole thing was empty, it could not hold a whole DL DVD. Unless you are copying on the fly(which requires 2 burners) you need enough disk space to hold the movie.

So the answer is an emphatic no.

if hes not doing any decoding/encoding, then you dont have to worry about that. But i dont think that a P2 is powerful enough to even run a dvd burner.

and as you said, the hard drive is not large enough to store the temp files.
 
Just about any processor would be fine, even decoding...it just might take a while. The real problem I see there is HD space...
