You want to know whether you can burn videos that were
recorded in Media Center mode to a DVD

the DVR-MS format. You can burn a DVR-MS file to a DVD
with DVD recording (burning) software, such as
Power2Go, and with the Media Center itself.

PowerDVD). The computer without Media Center must
also have Windows Vista or Windows XP with Service
Pack (SP) 1 or 2, Windows Media Player 9 or later, and the
Windows patch Q810243 Update.
