CD burner no longer burning files

My cd burner used to burn files such as documents (Word Docs, etc.) just fine, but now will only burn music and no document files. Every time I try, it says disc not recognized, even though they are the same discs that used to work on here just fine. I have tried to burn PDF's, Powerpoint presentations, Word Docs, Excel sheets and none of these now work; whereas they used to with no problem. I am using an HP Pavillion Desktop with Windows Vista. Thanks for any help!

How to convert M4P music to MP3

The music and audiobook files you purchased from online stores are protected by DRM. But most mobile players doesn't support DRM format. However you can burn the protected music files to CD-R/RW disc to make an audio CD, then use CD ripper softwares to rip the audio cd track back to MP3, WAV, WMA etc.
There are two ways to convert M4P music to MP3. One way is to use itunes for sophisticated computer user, another way is to use third party program for beginner, which is much easier.Following the steps , then get your job one easily.
Part one: Using itunes to converting M4p music
Step 1: Run iTunes and set burner options firstly. You can choose
Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Burning menu and then select your CD burner.
Note: If you don't have a physical burner, you may use a virtual burner program, NoteBurner. Go to http://www.noteburner.com to download the program. After you install it, you can choose NoteBurner Virtual CD-RW as what you do in the first step.
Step 2: Create a new playlist in iTunes and add all m4p files you want to convert to this new list.
Note: If you use NoteBurner, you need to select the output format in NoteBurner. After you click Settings button, you can set the output as MP3, WAV and WMA.
Step 3: Click Burn Disc button in iTunes to starting the burning. If you use NoteBurner, this is the final step since the program can rip back the burned music automatically. The output folder will be open automatically after all music finishes encoding.
Note: If you burn the m4p files on real CD, you need to rip the music back in iTunes. Open iTunes Edit>Preferences>Advanced menu and click small Importing tab inside the Advanced tab to choose "WAV encoder" or "AIFF Encoder" in the "Import Using" dropdown. In the left-hand panel under "Devices", select the CD that you burned
Step 4: In the main window opposite, deselect any CD track(s) you do not want to convert. Right-click or control-click over them, and choose the "convert to AIFF" or "convert to WAV" option.
Step 5: After the conversion, you may find the converted file at C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorMy DocumentsMy MusiciTunesiTunes Music
Part two: Using third party program to convert M4p music
Comparing to the previous method, the following is more simple and easier, you can finish the job with just several clicks.
Step 1: Free download M4P Converter, install and run it.
Step 2: Clicking "Add" or directly drag-drop protected M4P files. Batch M4P to MP3 conversion supported.
Step 3: In the "Setting" button, choose MP3 format (*.mp3), you can also custom the music.

How to download mp3 music into the dvd disc

You can burn the mp3 music files to a DVD disc. Just burn the mp2 files as normal data files.
Some CD players can play mp3 music files but they need to be burnt onto a CD disc NOT a DVD disc.

Where to find a CD-R longer than 80 minutea and way to burn it

You can't, that is the maximum for a CD-R or a CD+R = approx 700Mb capacity.
DVD-R and DVD+R have a capacity of 4.5Gb
Depending upon the type of data files you want to burn, there are compression techniques you and apply and then burn them to a CD.
For example you can convert CDs to mp3 music files and burn them onto a CD-+R disk. You can fit 12 to 16 CDs albums in mp3 format on a single CD-+R disc, but your CD player needs to be a MP3 player to play these music files.

Recorded Voice to CD Burner (Want to make CD of voice)

You should be able to burn them directly. Put a blank CD into your CD burner and then pull up My Computer. You should see the CD there in whatever drive you have your CD player/burner set up in (usually D: ). Double click on it to open it. There should not be anything in that folder.

Then while leaving that folder open, go back to My Computer in a new window and open up the folder where you created your sound files (My Documents/My Music). Select the files you want burned to the CD (you can select more than one at a time with by holding down CTRL while you click), right click on them and select 'Copy'.

Then head back over to your blank folder of the CD contents. Right-click and Paste them into that folder. Depending on your version of Windows, either a bubble will pop up on your task bar saying you have files waiting to be burned on the CD or you might have to go into File to find an option to burn to the CD.

Then your files should be all set!

Good luck!

well it could be many reasons why it wont write your burner but first what software you are using for burning. it happens to me before using media player when i try to burn music. the reason was i haven't configure my media player to use my dvd burner for burning because i have dvd burner and a cd burner installed. Now maybe you try to reinstall it using your dvd driver the one which with your dvd burner when you first bought it.
