You can't convert from .WMS to .CDA extension.

What are you using to create the CD's -- are you doing it withing the Media
Center interface, using Media Player outside of Media Center, some third
party software, etc..

 

I am using the same CD player that I have had for 2 years.
The only download that I did to Media Player was recommeneded by Microsoft:
October 2007 Cumulative Update for Media Center for Windows Vista

Information for Windows Media Center Extenders
Windows Media Center Extenders, such as the Xbox 360, use network ports to
communicate over the network with computers that are running Windows Vista
Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate. This update rollup contains updates
to Media Center programs that may have been previously configured as
"approved" or as "allowed" by a third-party firewall. If you use a
third-party firewall, you may have to manually update your firewall to let
the new versions of these programs access the ports. If you do not perform
these firewall updates, you may experience failures when you try to connect
the Windows Media Center Extender to the Media Center computer.
