[MacDV] DVD Burning on a Network

[Gordon Alley]

Run iDVD on the MacBook. Instead of burning a DVD, tell it to save an image
of the DVD. Copy that image file to a Mac that has a DVD burner, and use
Disk Utility to burn it.
I have burners on both my MacBook and my old iMac. Recently I had to burn a
large quantity of DVDs. Because my MacBook is faster, I used iMovie and iDVD
on that Mac. Then I had iDVD save the DVD as an image file. I copied that
file to my iMac. Then I used Disk Utility on both Macs to burn DVDs on both
Macs concurrently. Worked just fine.
