I m trying to burn a DVD and there appears a message saying that my temporary
forder does not have enough capacity for the project. Can I empty the
temporary folder completely with no reprecussions?

Yes, they can, and should be, deleted periodically.

Because it's safe to delete any temp files that aren't open and in use by an
application, and since Windows won't let you delete open files, it's safe to
(try to) delete them at any time. If any fail to delete because they're
open, they'll either be deleted automatically when the app using them
closes, or you'll get them the next time you delete manually.
 
Ken, there may be another reason why the user is getting this message: the
entire disk may be getting full. Folders expand to accept as many files as
they need (up to a point) and then the "disk full" message appears. If the
user's disk is getting full (not just the Temp folder) then this message
would appear.

At the very least I'd run "Disk Cleanup".
