o How to burn a CD > 

How to Burn video file to a CD 1. First, you need to tell Windows what video file you want copied to CD. 2. Open “My Computer”, then your “CD-RW” drive. 3. Now, drag and drop (or copy / paste) the video file you’ve created to the open      window. See picture below.   Note that when you drag, or copy these files, it only puts them on a list; it doesn't automatically start making the CD. 4. At this point you should have your video file to CD burner. 5. Place a blank (writable) CD into your drive, open “My Computer”, and then double-     click the “CD-R/RW” drive. You should see your video file you've selected to burn. 6. Click the “Write these files to CD” and it will start Windows CD burning wizard. From      there, just follow the prompts. See picture below. Note that if you accidentally stick a file on the list that you don't want on CD, you can remove it by right-clicking the file and selecting Delete.  7. During the actual CD writing process, it's best not to mess with your computer.
