Yes I do have the Video dvd option. I am trying to burn a Video DVD which
you
can put into a dvd player and watch on your tv.

Does anybody know why Media Centre won't let me burn recorded TV onto a
dvd-rw??

If you haven't got the Video DVD option, you need to google for
Sonicencoders.MSI and install it.

Persnoally, I'd download the trial of Nero 7 and use that, and if you
find
it helps you do what you want to do, I'd buy it.

Hi,
When I try to burn a recorded tv program onto dvd, Windows media
centre has
a message saying the the file type is not supported. Does this mean
that I
can not burn recorded tv onto DVD?

I have a dvd burner which supports dvd+-RW and I was using a dvd-rw.

Thanks,
Justin

A DVD-RW has to be formatted just as you would a floppy or hard drive.
The process is called UDF formatting and there are several different types.
For instance Nero uses a program called InCD to UDF format a RW disk and to
view that disk on another computer it to has to have InCD installed.
If you take that disk and try to view it on a system that has Roxio Adaptec
UDF software on it or no UDF packet writing software at all, the disk will
appear blank.
Read Write DVD's are a storage media you can use much like a hard drive,
with it you can erase, drag and drop, overwrite existing files, re-format
etc.
For media playback you should use + or - R DVD's not + or - RW DVD's.
