I recently came across a home project where I needed to render multiple iDVD projects, about 8 different projects in all.  And for each of those, I needed 10 copies for friends and family.  My first thought was to simply the process by creating disc images from iDVD, so that I could then open the disc image in Disk Utility whenever I wanted and burn multiple copies quickly.

I did this for the first few, but as it took about 3.5 hours per project, it was a pain to schedule, and there was a lot of wasted time at night that my MacBook could have been rendering, except that after the project finished, I couldn’t figure out how to get iDVD to start on a second one.

I started writing an AppleScript to automate this, and then decided to just Google for one as someone surely had thought of this before me.  Turns out there is a very nice script that allows allows you to choose the iDVD projects you want to burn, and where you want to save the disc images.  Then, away iDVD goes.

Very nice script to have.  Mac OS X Hints.com
