You might try http://www.acronis.com/.

You boot to it, select a network location, and backup. I havent written to a DVD player, but it's much easier to write an image file across a network with it

They appear to support DVD burners:



"How can I use Acronis True Image 7.0 to write the images directly to DVD disks?
Acronis True Image 7.0 is capable of writing to a DVD disk in Windows if UDF packet DVD-writing software is installed, and the DVD disk is formatted. We currently support at least the following packet DVD writing software:

Roxio DirectCD — an optional part of Roxio Easy CD Creator
Ahead InCD — is available for free on Nero site for Ahead Nero Burning Rom users (and usually also is shipped with Nero)
Veritas DLA and all its OEM versions (e.g. HP DLA).
Pinnacle InstantCD/DVD
In general we also support all other UDF packet DVD writing software, but the three above are most popular and they have been tested by Acronis and approved.

To make the DVD disk writeable in Acronis True Image the user should do the following:

Install UDF packet DVD — writing software.
Format the DVD disks. DVD+RW and DVD-RW disks can be formatted by all software mentioned above, while DVD-R and DVD+R at this moment can be formatted only by Roxio DirectCD.
Next, start Acronis True Image, insert the formatted DVD disk into the DVD+RW or DVD-RW drive and create an image on it without any additional requirements.
The images from the DVD disk can be restored both in Windows and when Acronis True Image is started from bootable disks.
There is also a two-step method for writing to DVDs. Acronis True Image can create an image of the hard disk as a single file on the hard disk itself, and then you can copy the file using your own DVD-writing software to the DVD. The Acronis rescue disk will also be able to restore this file from the DVD if necessary."
