WinXP 64-bits

[dazkrlauwste]

Hello,

The latest build of WinXP 64-bits according to Microsoft does not support CD recording. Does this mean I cannot burn CD/DVD's with CDBURN/DVDBURN.EXE?

[tlatoani]

That means the Operative System by himself cannot burn DVD or CD, but you still can use third part software like NERO

The following digital media features are not included with Windows XP 64-Bit Edition:

Digital video disc (DVD) video playback

CD Recording

Kodak Imaging Accessory

Windows Media™ Player

A subset of Windows Media™ Technologies

DirectMusic®

Microsoft TV Technologies for Windows®

Video mixing renderer (VMR)

NetMeeting®

IEEE 1394 audio

Fax

So this means that third party sofware (e.g other media players) work just fine?
