I don't know about converting a dvd but you can download from above link with jigdo.

You need (a) the F8 install DVD (or its ISO image, loop-mounted), (b) jigdo (it’s in Fedora too if you already have an(other) installed system), and (c) some files from fedoraunity.org. One of the first things that jigdo will ask is if you already have bits of the target ISOs that are to be created, that is files that will go into those ISOs; point it to the F8 install DVD.

Edit: Oups, somebody answered this while I was typing my answer!

No you gave an answer that would work great if he doesn't want to use up bandwidth to download the bits again. I just linked there because there are premade cd .isos there, just figured it'd be easier if he had the bandwidth to spare.

thank you very much for the pointers. My issue is that my older systems don't have DVD drives...

thanks again,
Jim

I have to correct my post. Somehow I had the impression the question was about F8, and the link I provided was for that, but it actually was about F7.

FriedChips’s link from reply #2 is indeed for F7. What you get from there is a CD version of an updated F7. The big advantage: once you install from it, many updates will already be in place. The dissadvantage: you (actually, jigdo) will need to download those many updates, including the ones for packages you’ll never install, because these won’t be found on the DVD you have. Note that you can still point jigdo to the existing DVD to get unchanged pieces from there, reduceing the total download.

Also there is a way to just ‘turn the F7 DVD into CDs’: http://revisor.fedoraunity.org/docum...set-from-a-dvd. I didn’t find (already-made) jigdos for this; using jigdo would have been easyer than reinventing the ISOs with revisor.
