Burning TV programs and other content onto a DVD can easily be done using Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Burning DVDs will allow you to enjoy watching the shows you love when you find the time in your busy schedule. Since the Media Center PC comes with limited storage space and TV shows can occupy a lot of space, burning DVDs is a good idea for programs you would like to keep for future viewing.
Instructions
1. Insert a writable DVD disk into your Media Center DVD drive. Make sure the disk is blank or rewritable or else your system will not recognize the media.
2. Use the Start Button on your remote and select "My TV."
3. Use the arrows on the remote and go to "Recorded TV" on the My TV screen.
4. Select the program you wish to burn on the DVD from the list of recorded shows. Press the "More Info" button on your remote then select the "Create CD/DVD" option from the displayed list.
5. View the disc format screen and select "Video DVD" and press "OK." You will be asked to give a name to the DVD using the keys on the remote control.
6. Select "Create DVD" on the View DVD screen. The Initiating Copy dialog box will open, then select "Yes" to continue. Your DVD will start the burning process and may take several minutes as Media Center compresses the files so they will fit onto the disc.
7. Continue using your computer by selecting "OK" on the Creation Progress dialog box. Remove the DVD from the tray when the Media Center PC ejects it after it's finished burning.
8. Click "Done" on the Completing Disc Creation dialog box. Your DVD is now ready and you can watch the shows with any dedicated DVD player.
