If you check make ISO image on the "Select Destination" screen you can burn
the disk yourself. The file is in /tmp/work/mythburn.iso

I wrote this script to burn the file to my dvd drive (there are 4 lines with
-speed=4 being on the 3rd line):

#!/bin/sh
ulimit -l unlimited
/usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/tmp/work/mythburn.iso
-use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -dvd-compat -speed=4
eject /dev/dvd
