I think a web downloader is the better solution for you.

If you use static export, then the static export has to be set to "true"
at least for the top folders that you want to export. And the export
handler settings have to be correct, too. *But* this will mean that your
website starts using static export in production, too. If you want that,
then you could try to use static export with relative paths and then
copy the export folder onto a CD.

But I think a web downloader is the better solution, here. Wget is good,
but I for this purpose I would strongly recommend WinHttrack for Windows
or WebHttrack for Linux. It is able to download dynamic websites very
very well, it can create names that even work on ISO-cdrom-Filesystems,
etc. etc.
I used WebHttrack recently to create a static version of a dynamic,
PHP-based web application and the results were perfect.
