I had a student in my office asking about this yesterday.  I used the
following information to get the DVD-Burner to run, and burn, but I
think I messed up the creation of the ISO file, because the media was
unreadable.  Of course, it was the blank DVD that came with their new
Mac...who knows.  It LOOKS really easy, but I only had 20-30 minutes to
spend on it, so that was probably the main source of my difficulty.
