I have been trying to write some CD's in WMP. It goes through the "converting" phase, until it gets about 75% of the list done, then it errors out saying: "Windows Media Player has encountered an unknown error with your recordable disk." Then I right click on one of the error files and get into the "help" (if you want to call it that) menu. It is a huge discription of 0xC00D119F I have tried all of the steps inside: Adjusting the write speed Cleaning the drive Rebooting Restarting Trying multiple diskettes Now, please do not flame me about doing google ext. for I have tried those and get nothing but the WMP help file, no cure or fix. Thanks for any advice Mike

According to Microsoft: ▫ C00D119F: Cannot copy files to recordable disc Windows Media Player cannot copy the selected files to the CD-R or CD-RW disc. To fix the problem, do one or more of the following, and then try again: ▫ Check that the CD-R or CD-RW drive is connected. ▫ Clean the disc and ensure that it is not damaged. ▫ Try a different brand of CD-R or CD-RW disc. ▫ If another program is currently copying files to the CD-R or CD-RW disc, wait until the copying process is complete. ▫ Quit other programs that might be using the CD-R or CD-RW drive. ▫ Restart Windows Media Player. ▫ Restart your computer. ▫ Select a slower recording (write) speed. ▫ Use the Windows Error-checking tool to check for file system errors and bad sectors on your hard disk. For more information about the Error-checking tool, see Windows Help. To select a slower recording speed ▫ On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Devices tab. ▫ In Devices, double-click the CD-R or CD-RW drive, and then click the Recording tab. ▫ In the write-speed list, select a slower speed. If the problem persists, the CD-R or CD-RW drive might be malfunctioning. According to me (I'm guessing though!!): ▫ Is there enough HardDisk space free for it to create the converted files? Most burners use a buffering technique: first they write the complete CD-image as a file to the HardDisk, and then they copy that image to the CD. ▫ WMP doesn't have the most elaborate settings to control burning. Using other burn-programs might be a better solution. ▫ Some form of copy-protection that's kicking in? WMP has plenty of options to check/download 'missing info' for CDs/DVDs. ▫ Very long filenames are sometimes to blame ▫ Open TaskManager>Performance to check if you run out of memory at the moment of the error. My best advice would be to not use WMP for burning, but that's not a proper solution to your problem. ___________________________________________ ☺ [Belgium, GMT+1]_________________________svg

That is exactly everything I have been able to find on the problem, and I tried all of their recommended fixed. As for not using WMP, what do you recommend then?
