From time to time I browse the Windows Media Center Group on Google. Seems a common complaint is trouble burning DVDs from with MCE. Personally, my media center box is just viewed by me as a PC with media center ability. In other words, I use good tools like Nero for burning DVDs when needed.
If you are one of those that want to burn DVDs from within MCE you might want to have a look a Matt Goyer's blog post today. He out lines the following steps to help you get back up and running:

* Uninstall the Sonic Solutions burn engine: Start->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs->Add/Remove Windows Components. Uncheck the box next to Sonic DVD and CD Burning and click Next.
* Reboot.
* Reinstall the Sonic Solutions burn engine: Start->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs->Add/Remove Windows Components. Check the box next to Sonic DVD and CD Burning and click Next. *If there are errors finding the required files (CD2 is requested), perform a Search on the file names and then Browse to the folder containing each required file.
* Reboot.

Worth a try.
