[iBook] burning dvd's with iBook

[Tony Gamble]

There is a possible workaround in this case: rather than click the  
burn button in iDVD (or "Burn DVD" from the File menu), instead go to  
File -> Save As Disc Image.  Then you can burn the disc image using  
Apple Disk Utility.  I always save my iDVD projects as disc images  
now because I sometimes am afflicted with bad media (cheaper isn't  
always better), so having the disc image handy means I don't have to  
render the project all over again.
