TransMac seems to have problems with burning double layer DVDs.If you're not satisfied with that, or would like to use NEROinstead anyway, then I'm almost sure, that the expanded dmg file isin fact identical with an iso image. So expand the file, and renameit to iso, and use another burner to burn the bastard!!!!!! :)

I in fact used ultraiso to convert the dmg to iso (to expandit), but the resulting file is exactly the same size that ofcreated by transmac. moreover, transmac calls expanding as'converting to iso'.

So, try at your own risk, but i think that would work.
