I didn&#8217;t include this functionality into my HTPC until recently.  With the price of decent DVD burners dropping into the $35 range, there&#8217;s really no excuse not to have one. (In my case, newegg sweetened the deal by offering a 50-pack of RiData DVD+R discs for only $9)  Since Windows XP has native CD burning capabilities, I wondered if it would burn DVDs as well.  (it doesn&#8217;t)  Not wanting to buy another full-featured DVD burning product, I did a quick search on the web and downloaded a few promising titles.  One that turned out to be amazingly good was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdburnerxp.se\/\">CDBurner XP Pro<\/a>.  This program is totally free, but has more features than many titles costing upwards of $40.  Not only that, but it&#8217;s easy to use as well.  If you&#8217;re building a new system, or just looking for a replacement to your old burning software, give this title a try.  If you like it, consider sending the developers a donation too..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the beginning, one of the key elements to my high-def HTPC was the ability to write recorded shows to DVD.
