Is Burning is mostly a backend type of thing?  I ask since this is how
my setup will be.

It makes  a difference since I was going to use mtd or the Job Queue
for setting up the conversion jobs.   I believe mtd is a frontend job
right (or is there a setting to specify the host)?  Which I guess
means that DVD ripping is a frontend job.  Hmm, can anyone shed some
light on this in terms of burning support.

Thanks
