You don't.  You download the .iso and burn it to CD or DVD.  You need to burn 
the image to CD or DVD, not copy the files.  ($CD burner should have a menu 
entry for this.)

Personally, I would say none of them.  I would download the netinstall CD and 
do a net install.  That way you have an already updated system and download 
only the packages that you actually want.

But if you do want to use the DVDs, then you only need the first one if you 
have internet access.
