If you have a number of programs running, close

 

the programs, then click OK. The TV programs

 

burn to the DVD.

Tip:

DVD-Rs have a 4.7 GB maximum capacity. If the TV program you want to record is long enough to require more than 4.7 GB of recording space, you can reduce the Windows XP Media Center program recording quality setting before recording the program. The record quality setting options are Fair, Good, Better, or Best:

Recording Approximate

quality GB/hour

Best3.0

Better2.5

Good2.0

Fair1.0

Lowering the recording quality reduces the TV program recording space requirement, which may reduce the TV program file size enough for the program to fit on a recordable DVD (depending on the TV program length).

For more information about setting the recorded image quality option, see the topics in Change settings for My TV located under the My TV section of the Windows XP Media Center Help. To open Windows XP Media Center Help, move the mouse to activate the menu bar, then click the Help button .
