Thanks - that looks like just what I was looking for. And it burns the 
disk too - neato.

In this case, I already have the MPEG2 files, so getting the stuff into 
iDVD just wastes a lot of time and degrades the quality.

Someone also posted recently that you can do the same thing with Disk 
Copy (i.e. make an image of your DVD, then make copies).  The problem 
with using Toast for copies is that it re-builds the image for every 
copy instead of giving you the chance to make multiple copies like iDVD 
does.
