Burning DVDs from AirDisk

To put it bluntly, think carefully before you try this. Yes, the AirDisk appears to be a normal network drive. However I just burnt a 4.2GB DVD full of jpegs (each approximately 2 - 3 MB) and it took over 6 hours! Throughout that period my Airport throughput meter (courtesy of the indispensable MenuMeters) fluctuated between 50 and 300KB/s transfer from the AirDisk to my MacBook Pro. I don't know why the AirDisk transferred data so slowly - normally I can achieve around 3MB/s for large files and half that for small ones.
