This question has been asked and answered several times already. Be sure to look further back then just the last week when searching and you'll have much better luck.

To answer your question, have a look at my post here.

And welcome to the best forum ever! (even if we do have some computer issues from time to time )

DVD player = useless 5mw red diode.
CD burner = ~80mW max uncollimatable infrared diode, too much hassle to bother with generally.
