You want to know whether you can burn videos that were
recorded in Media Center mode to a DVD
• Yes, you can. The Media Center saves recorded videos in
the DVR-MS format. You can burn a DVR-MS file to a DVD
with DVD recording (burning) software, such as
Power2Go, and with the Media Center itself.
You want to know whether you can play recorded videos
on other computers
• Yes, you can. A DVR-MS file recorded to DVD can be
replayed on another computer with Media Center or on
a computer without Media Center provided that it has a
DVD player and DVD decoder software (such as
PowerDVD). The computer without Media Center must
also have WindowsVista or WindowsXP with Service
Pack (SP) 1 or 2, Windows Media Player 9 or later, and the
Windows patch Q810243 Update.
You want to know whether you can play recorded videos
on your home DVD player
• Yes, you can. DVDs recorded with the Media Center can
be played on a home DVD player.
