Best software to burn multiple DVDs at one time

I have a small video production business, and I deliver my final product on DVD. At times I have up to 6 copies of each job. Before I used my PC with Nero to burn multiple copies to multiple drives at he same time. I would like to attach more drives to my Mac and do the same.

These are jobs I have produced, so I and the client hold copyright on the videos. I do not need to worry about encryption or anything else to do with protected media.

Thanks in advance!

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Are you saying that you want to burn several DVDs simultaneously?

Well, the only one I've heard of mentioned here is Dragon Burn; iDVD cannot do it as far as I know.

and don't forget to use external burners - iMac Superdrives are not meant for "heavy duty" work. Or at least give it 15 minutes or so to cool down after burning 2......

Thanks! That looks to be an answer to my needs. Also I will remember to take it easy on the internal drive.

I appreciate the help!

With my Mac Pro Superdrives (I have 2), I have made 15 or so, one right after another, with no problems.

Well, I do not know what types of drives are in a Mac Pro; the iMac drives are vertically installed slim laptop style drives and I've had several fail even though I rarely use mine (usually use my external burner), so you've been fortunate. Even my external gets quite hot - I allow them to cool; they aren't meant to be commercial/professional grade drives/burners.
