Burning recorded video to a DVD with Nero Express After you have recorded a program, you may want to save the program to a DVD for viewing on another computer that has a DVD player. You can use Nero Express to copy the recorded program to a DVD. TV programs that have been recorded with Media Center can be recorded to DVD using Nero Express, then replayed on another Media Center computer or on a non-Media Center computer that has a DVD player and DVD decoder software (such as WinDVD) installed. The non-Media Center computer must also have Windows XP with Service Pack (SP) 1, Windows Media Player 9, and the Windows patch Q810243 Update. Your Media Center computer also includes software that lets you create video DVDs that you can play on your home DVD player. See "Burning recorded video to DVD using Media Center" on page 21 for more information. 1 Insert a blank, writable DVD-R disc into your recordable DVD drive.
