If you have burned your System Rescue Disc set then you may want to just use some other burning software. I think Winamp has plugins for managing libraries. I usually use CDBurnerXP or even the old Burrrn program to burn audio discs. The latest Imgburn is supposed to do audio also. Plus Winamp has burn support. Those big bloated "all in one" software packages get in the way more than anything once you've burned for awhile. Small light special apps is the better way to go. See VideoHelp.com - Forum, Guides, Tools and hardware lists for a good place to get going with smaller programs that run faster and work better.

On a lot of systems they give you a crippled burner app so you can burn your own rescue disks. A lot of the disc burning software won't burn multimedia dvd or cd no matter what you do. Your best bet is try Imgburn or CDBurnerXP. They're both free and work well. If you need help using them or converting media formats try

Also the burning apps themselves have their own forums on their home pages.
