A Wintel box burns DVDs exactly as a Mac box does: using the appropriate 
hardware and software. Suitable hardware is in some machines of either 
flavor and can be added to others. Suitable software comes with the Mac, 
I'm told, but must be acquired for the PC. In general, the burner will 
include DVD-creation software in its bundle whether it is built in or 
added on.

There are many choices of DVD authoring software for Wintel, each with 
its advantages and limitations. On that box, you pays yer money and yer 
takes yer cherce. On the Mac, there is neither additional cost nor much 
flexibility.

NOTE: I haven't run a Mac since I sold mine over a decade ago, so what I 
write about it is from my understanding of their product descriptions 
and reports from users.
