Sonic is not necessary in any form. There are *many* options, free and
cost, to write to/play various DVD formats (given you have the proper
hardware.
Burning CDs with Windows XP in a few ways requires no third party
application. Some others (such as bootable CDs) require a third party
application. Using Media Player does not.
Burning ANY DVD+/- RW/R requires third party software in Windows XP.
