99% of codec problems are fixed by saying goodbye to the fat & bloated Windows Media Player and switching to VLC

VLC comes packaged with almost any codec you could want and plays all but a few formats of audio & video. Plus its free!

I doubt that is related to your burning problems though. Have you tried burning with different software? "Not working" is pretty vague, what's the specific error message?
