The Make Compatible feature in DLA makes uncompressed CD-R and DVD+R discs readable by most read-only CD and DVD drives, even if DLA is not installed in the PC. When you make a disc compatible, DLA closes the session on your disc. This means: With a DVD+R, you are not able to add data to the disc. With a CD-R, you are able to add more data in another recording session, but you need to select Make Compatible again after you add the files.

Safeguarding Your Capability
to Play Recorded TV Programs
When you record TV programs using Media
Center, the TV program broadcaster may have an
encryption code that Microsoft includes as a
special code in the recorded files. This code is
keyed to your PC and is required to play
broadcaster-encrypted TV programs previously
recorded to hard disk, copied to DVD, or copied
to other media. When you perform a system
recovery
or replace the hard disk drive in your
PC, you lose the special code.
