How to convert MP4 to CDA with CDBurnerXP

You might know nothing about CDA files, but you are surely familiar with Audio CDs, right? So, a CDA file is, basically, a shortcut to one of the tracks on an audio CD and which is created during the CD burning process. This type of file can not be played on a computer, unless the audio CD is inserted into the CD/DVD-Rom device. 
MP4 is a famous multimedia format that can store video and audio data, as well as subtitles, images and any other piece of information about the video data. Even though converting MP4 files to CDA might sound a bit strange, in fact, it is the process of burning a CD that turns any other audio format to CDA. So, all you need to do is just burn the audio stream of your MP4 file to an audio CD. This way, you will be able to enjoy your favorite movie soundtracks or listen to your MP4 video clips using your car's CD player or any other device that can play an audio CD.

To show you how you can do that, I will be using CDBurnerXP 4.5 (Freeware), because it is one of the most popular and free to use audio CD burners available on the Internet and it provides users with a simple and efficient way to burn MP4 files to an audio CD (among many other features).
