Hi All

Hope you can help me out!

I have dowloaded a no of music and video files (legally!) and want to burn them off to CD/DVD. When i right click the only option on these is to play with VLC but i want to burn them.

Have googled but it involves downloading software etc so thought i'd ask for some advice and recommendations on a site i trust!

Thanks

PJB

    I would use ImgBurn, you can use it to make audio CD's and MP3 audio CD's

    http://filehippo.com/download_imgburn/

    You can also use this to convert the video files to audio files

    Thanks, are these easy to use?

    Says the file extensions are mp3 and mp3x, i can send the mp3 to Windows Media Player and burn it but it comes out as a data disc and does not play on my CD player, not sure if it's my CD player but never had this problem before

    ImgBurn has its own forum with guides, though it is easy enough to pick up

    http://forum.imgburn.com/

    With AVC Free you load the file then choose what file type you want to convert it to

    You can use Windows Media Player, but you have to choose Audio CD. Don't expect to get many tracks on to a single CD...as it's time based.

    Like Wannie says Windows Media Player burns mp3's to audio. Where it says 'Burn' there is a little arrow underneath. Click on that and click on audio
    that will then give you 80mins of music on an audio cd

    You need to configure Windows Media Player to burn an Audio CD.
    Have a look here

  • Right click > send to > DVD drive. Then you can burn from there.
