Vista Media Center will not brn DVD of recorded programs

I've had Windows Media Center on my Dell XPS410 machine running Vista Home Premium for the last two years. I used to be able to burn DVD's of recorded programs in Media Center with no problem, until about a month ago. Now whenever I try to burn the DVD's of a program, I get get the following error messages:
"Burn failure - an error has occurred in burning the CD/DVD" This message pops up in Media Center.
Then when I exit Media Center, I get the following message: "SBEServer has stopped working". I don't know what SBEServer means.

I did have to perform an In-Place Upgrade of Vista Home Premium (with help of Microsoft Vista technical support) prior to this issue because my system would not download Windows Upgrades.

I am able to burn data and photo files in other programs, namely Windows Photo Gallery and Windows DVD Maker, and Roxio. However, the Windows Media Center will not let me burn anymore, which is quite inconvenient.

I am current with all Windows Updates and have tried various fixes such as disabling and removal of the other burner software and this has not resolved the issue.

Hopefully someone can help.
Thanks, Dan

My problem is very similar. Please let me know if I should start a new thread. Media Center will no longer burn recorded TV shows to DVD. I have been recording cartoon shows off and on for my godson to watch. This week, I started getting errors and every attempt aborts. At first I thought maybe I had some bad DVD+R media, but I am able to burn other things to DVD outside of Media Center.

Here is what happens: In Media Center, I select the episodes of recorded TV shows that I want to burn to DVD. The process starts normally, indicating that it may take "several hours" to finish. After about an hour or so, at 28% completion, I hear the DVD burner spin up like it is going to start recording. After a few seconds, it stops and ejects the blank disk. In Media Center, an error comes up saying: "BURN FAILURE, An error has occurred in burning the CD/DVD." There is no further info nor error codes.

I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit on an HP system with a quad core processor. Last week I upgraded my storage as follows: The system has a 500GB RAID1 mirrored disk that contains the C: and D: drives. (D: is the HP system restore disk.) My C: drive was getting pretty full, so I added a pair of 1.5TB drives, also as a RAID1 mirrored pair, designated as drive G:.

I moved my data files off the C: drive to the G: drive. This included moving the folders like Documents, Pictures, Videos, etc. to the G: drive. I also moved the Recorded TV folder to the G: drive. In Media Center, I told it to save recorded TV programs to this location, and I also added this folder to the list of monitored folders, and removed the drive C: folders from the list.

Everything worked great. Media Center records TV programs and plays them back just fine. But when it comes to burning a program to DVD, I get the same failure every time. I'm guessing there must be some pointer somewhere that I neglected to reroute to the G: drive, but I can't find it.

Can you give me any clues where to start looking for this problem?

Thanks!
