You can use OS X to burn the disk if you use the diskcopy application. This
will burn disc images - pretty well actually.
Start diskcopy and from the Image menu, choose burn image....and you are
away. Btw you can also duplicate discs by first making an image (choose
CD/DVD master) and then burning the image - very handy....
You can't use the DiscBurner app to do this, but you can certainly use Toast
if you have it.
