I am pasting below a message that someone kindly forwarded to me that should
help. It isn't too bad once you get used to the quirks in Real Player.
Hope it helps. Note that the message is based on RealOne which was the old
name for Real Player, but the steps still seem to be useable for the most
part.
Here are some old instructions that do offer some good points about burning
with Real Player. They were written for Real One Player and the menus are
slightly different as you can see by reference to where the Burn/Transfer
item is found.
If you're using Jaws, the tip about changing the keys for selecting is a
good one to remember.
Good luck.

Hi all,
As promised, I have returned with instructions on burning CD's using
RealOnePlayer.
First, before you even open RealOnePlayer, there is a hot key conflict
which must be resolved between JAWS and RealOnePlayer. This hot key
conflict is in reference to two control plus keys; specifically, ctrl up
arrow and ctrl down arrow. Those of you us who use RealOnePlayer will
doubtless recognize these hot keys as the quick access keys for volume up
and volume down. The difficulty which arises from leaving these hot keys as
they are assigned is that they cause interference with the non contiguous
file selection process. In RealOnePlayer, when you wish to burn a disk from
files not part of a play list, the non contiguous file selection is the best
rule to apply rather than contiguous selection. This is because it is
possible to get feedback on whether or not a file has been selected for
burning while using the non contiguous selection method. To resolve this
hot key conflict between JAWS and RealOnePlayer, do this.
1. Open the default JFW key board manager.
2. Press R till you hear, "RealOnePlayer".
3. Now, arrow down till you get to the hot keys mentioned above.
4. Now, to change tthe first hot key, press ctrl H.
5. At this point, press the new hot key you wish to have assigned to the
function.
6. Now, tab to and press Ok.
7. You will be asked if you wish to confirm whether you wish to make this
change. Yes is the default so press enter here.
8. Now, press alt S to save this change and then press alt F 4 to exit.
At this point, you are ready to begin your burning session. Let's deal
first with burning CD's from files you select which are not part of a
RealOnePlayer play list.
1. Open RealOnePlayer in the normal manner.
2. Press alt T for Tools.
3. Press B for "burn CD.
4. At this point, you will notice that, for some reason, JAWS will tend to
lose focus from this window. Because of this, you will find that it is
necessary to use alt tab to get back to the main RealOnePlayer window and
then alt tab to get back to the "media" window.
Do this.
5. Now, press enter on the media window in to which you just reentered.
6. Now, you will find yourself in a file window in to which you can select
files. Just tab to "add files" and press enter.
7. At this point, you will be placed in the "my Library window" which will
show you all the files stored in the "my Library" collection.
Assuming however, that you do not want to select files from this point, tab
to and press enter on "browse".
8. Having done this, you can now browse in the normal manner to the folder
in to which you have stored the files you wish to be burned.
9. Here is where you will find the non contiguous file selection rule to be
the best choice for file selection. Select all files you wish burned.
10. Now, press enter on Open".
11. Now, you will find yourself in the CD burning window. This would be a
good time to put the blank disk in.
12. Wait about 30 seconds or so while RealOnePlayer detects the blank disk
and what kind it is. Then start tabbing threw the window.
13. You will notice that the first thing you will come to is the disk type
window. This is the point at which you determine the type of CD you wish to
burn. The "audio" choice will cause all files you have selected to burn on
to the disk in such a manner that they will play in any regular CD player.
The Mp3 choice will cause all files to be converted to MP3's, and so forth.
Make the choice you wish by arrowing to it.
14. Now, if you tab over, you will get to the options page. This is the
page at which you can control how a Cd is burned. You can have
RealOnePlayer insert a blank space of two seconds between tracks, cross fade
between tracks or leave no blank space at all. Make the choice you want
using the arrow keys.
15. Just tab threw the other controls making your selections as you wish
and then tab to and press Ok.
16. If you use a rewritable CD, "erase CD" will be within the burn window.
Otherwise, you may want to tab over to "driver options". Press enter on it.
17. Now, From this point you can make your driver use what is called "track
at once" (known as Tao) burning or "disk at Once" (Dao burning) Disk at
Once, which is the default in RealOnePlayer burns the disk in a single
session and then finalizes the disk and then, depending upon whether you've
set it up, ejects the disk after each burn. With in this window, you can
also select the burn speed you wish. Note that burn speeds are dependent
upon drive burning speed as well as the burn speed allowed by the disk in
the burner. Selecting "fastest available" will always choose the fastest
burn speed with out your having to select a burn speed manually. Make all
the choices you want here and press "ok".
18. Now, after pressing Ok, You may want to check using your JAWS cursor
to see your file list view. All your files should be selected, and, the
phrase "ready to burn" should appear by each one.
19. Now, at long last, tab to and press enter on "burn CD".
You will notice, to your delight, that a progress bar will show you the
percent of each file which has been burned on to disk and which files are
still pending. When done. Enjoy your disk.
Ok. Now for the process of how to burn CD's using a RealOnePlayer play
list. Don't worry, the steps are shorter for this one. That's because
we're working with a play list this time.
1. Open RealOnePlayer in the normal way.
2. Press alt V for "View".
3. Press L for "my library".
4. Now, arrow to the play list you wish to burn. Do not press enter here.
5. Now, tab to "copy to". Press enter on this.
6. This would be a good time to insert the blank disk.
7. Again, wait for about 30 seconds or so for detection.
8. Now, up arrow once only. Note that JAWS won't say anything when you do
this.
9. Now, Press enter.
10. When you here, "media window", press enter. You will notice that JAWS
does not lose focus when you do this.
11. You will again find yourself in a window where you can select files.
However, sense you all ready have chosen to burn a play list, just tab to
and press enter on "close this window".
12. Now, burn your CD by tabbing to "burn CD" as before and pressing enter
on it.
