Question about burning recorded TV to DVD

[Hugh Epley]

I posted an earler question, but didn't gat any response. Maybe I didn't
phrase it clearly. I am using the Windows XP Media Center, and have
recorded a number of TV shows to my hard disk. I want to be able to burn
them to a DVD-R so that they will play on my TV via a regular DVD player.
It doesn't seem like Microsoft provided the software necessary to convert
the recorded TV shows (which are in DVR-ms) format to the DVD format (MPEG2
I think) so my question is: is there a way to do this using the Media Center
software, and if not, does anyone know what software to use to make the
conversion and burn the DVD's. I am sure this question must have come up
many times, or else I am just missing something. Any help will be
appreciated. Thanks, Hugh

Hi Hugh,
Sorry for no replies earlier.
See here

www.papajohn and look for the media centre pieces at importing source files
video recorded tv.
Could use this to convert to WMV
