In the File menu, there is an option to Save as a disk image.  You can then transfer the image to another computer with a functioning burner.

It's also a good way to test your DVD before burning to an actual disk.

Or, buy an external (USB) burner and attach to your Mac. You can check Sears, Best Buy, even WalMart, or look online at NewEgg, etc. for external burners under $50.

I've gotten some free DVD burners from old or dead PC's being thrown out, and installed them in an inexpensive external case (about $25).
