CD and DVD Content Burning
Windows Media Center enables software vendors to create applications that provide CD or DVD recording capabilities, and to tightly integrate those capabilities into Windows Media Center. CD/DVD recording applications use the IListMakerApp interfaces of the Windows Media Center application object model to get lists of digital media files from the user, and they use the IDiscWriterApp interface to record the media files onto a CD or DVD.
A CD/DVD recording application is a managed software component provided by an independent software vendor. It runs inside the Windows Media Center process, using the API elements exposed by the Microsoft.MediaCenter.ListMaker namespace to exchange file and disc information with Windows Media Center, and to retrieve lists of user-selected files for recording onto a CD or DVD.
