Why use Media Player? I am not sure that Media Player is designed to burn dataDVDs.
There are several accessible DVD burning software utilities on the Programs section of the Jaws User Home Page which will probably be easier for you to use. For example Singe.

Hope someone can help me. Are there step by step instructions available on how to burn data to a CD or DVD using Windows Media Player 10? I really need to back up my hard drive but don't know how. I've got a drive capable of writing to either CD's or DVD's, and I'd like to burn data to DVD's since they will hold more. One of my problems is that I was given instructions on how to burn audio CD's by moving the audio files to the disc drive and then how to burn with Windows Media player, but the way I do it, I have no idea how many songs are too many to fit. I just guess and either I have too many or not enough. With an ancient version of Roxio, this was easy because I could easily tell when I've added more than 80 Meg to the burn list, which was too much. I miss that program a lot. But that was audio, and right now I'm trying to burn data files. I have no way of telling how much data will fit on the disc. And if there's a better program for saving data to a disc out there, I'd sure like to know about it, and how it works. This sure would be a bad time for my hard drive to go bad.
