The short answer is that XP doesn't support DVD recording. You would use some DVD creation tool.
The adjustment of sound speed is not a feature of many softwares. Maybe the old complaint about audio "chipmunk" playback is what you are asking about? The too fast playback was caused by an incorrect audio driver from the machine's maker. You get to find it and install the new driver to fix it.
