Playback problems with WMM

I tried using VCD Easy but the DVD player didn't recognize the disc. Same
disc that I am using to copy from data file. I made the CD by just copying
the data file. Today I deleted files from my hard drive and increased my
virtual memory thinking that would help. No luck. I have 60651MB virtual
memory available and 58.4 GB available on the hard drive.I have defragged
and done disk cleanup. I still have the same problem. Any other
suggestions? What about the Windows Media Encoder? Would that help? I
really appreciate your help. I would never have gotten this far without
your website.
