time I have had any problems.. If you look at the bottom of my post I

Note the word "natively" in Andrew's sentence "XP can't natively burn
DVD's." He doesn't mean that XP can't burn DVDs if you install DVD
burning software. He means that XP doesn't come with any DVD burning
facility, and he's right.

Of course you can do it, if you install third-party DVD-burning
software such as Nero (a good choice, by the way).

XP can't natively burn DVD's. Vista can burn DVD's directly - which O/S are
you using? This is the XP basics group, not Vista. Perhaps try the
Hardware group (or general) Vista group?

In XP you'll need Nero or similar to burn files to DVD.
