You can't copy anything with Library Server.  It only supports streaming.

Maybe your brother could burn a DVD.

Not quite true...although MC doesn't support copying, the files are placed into Internet Explorere's "Temporary Internet Files" directory and you could copy them out of there. Unfortuntely they're renamed to some nasty long things, but the files are there.

The other down-side with this is that they're copied as they're played, so it would be difficult to copy them all on demand.
