So it looks like I can't burn a straight data DVD with IMAPI (windows xp
sp2). Any extensions to allow me to do it, or do I have to go third party?

3rd party. XP does not burn DVDs natively.

Third party is required. There are some excellent freeware apps. This one is
good http://www.cdburnerxp.se/

So what's the deal here?
Am seeing some people indicate XP SP2 can burn DVDs. Some say not.
Can it or not?

Am aware that 3rd party software can do it.

Guess the only way I'm going to find out is to try it myself. Newsgroup is
a bit distended on this subject.

You can burn ISO images to DVD.

DVDBurn (and there is a CDBurn too) from the Resource Kit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
This is because if you download, say XP, from MS it comes as an ISO file.

IMAPI does Audio CDs (the user interface is in Media Player) and Data CDs only.

Cool link, and handy tools. Doesn't sound native to XP or SP2 though. Am I
missing something here?
