Computer Tutorial

                 You can burn a data CD or DVD in Windows 7 using Media Player. An audio CD can only have about eight minutes of music. On the other hand, if you burn a data CD or DVD using Windows Media Player 7, it will be able to sustain many hours of music. The video and image files can also be added to data discs.

When you burn a data CD or DVD in Windows 7, Windows Media Player can not convert your files to another format before saving them in an empty data disk so that files are kept in compressed state. This lets you put much more items on a disk.

As the file format is not changed, the quality of the file remains the same.

You can burn a data CD or data DVD in Windows 7 using Media Player as follows:

• Click Start.
• Click All Programs.
• Select Windows Media Player.
• Click the Burn tab in the Player Library.
• Click Burn options and select Data DVD or CD.
• Insert a blank disc into the CD or DVD burner of your computer.
• Close the AutoPlay dialog box if it comes into sight.
• Some people have more than one CD drive in their computer. If you have multiple CD drives in your computer too, select the one you would like to use in the navigation window.
• Look for the songs you want to burn.
• In order to make your burn list, drag the songs from the details pane in the center of the Player Library to the list pane which is on its right side.
• You can also change the order of the items in the burn list by dragging them upward or downward in the list.
• To remove a song from your list, simply right-click on the item and click on Remove from list.

After you finish making your list, click upon Start burn.
It may take some time to burn a data disk. When the selected objects do not fit on a disc, you also have the option to burn the remaining items on another disk. A data DVD is not the same as a DVD-Video and DVD movie you rent or buy in the store.
