I am just trying to figure out how can i migrate my Macbook driver and its OS into DVD by means of burning. I have a Macbook air and i do n0t have a portable DVD burner. Is there anybody knows how to do it.

Thanks.

Are you asking how to make a bootable DVD? Or just how to back up your internal drive?

If you don't have a portable DVD burner, what are you using to burn DVDs?

If it were me, I'd purchase a correctly sized USB drive and use something like Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable backup of your boot device.
