Your screenshots confuse me a little bit. In screenshot 1 you show the data you
prepared and want to burn now. Screenshot two shows an empty burn:/// location
and an error message, that you have to copy the files to the CD/DVD creator.
Have you tried this? Maybe the error message is confusing for you. What you have
to do now, is coping the files from /tmp/dvd/Messenger to burn:/// and then hit
"Write to CD". Next would pop up a window where you can enter a CD name and the
burning speed.

The principle is similar to windows xp explorer burning, if you are familiar
with this.

Let me know if this helped or if I misunderstood you!

shouldn't be necessary.

Good luck and best regards!
