Chris,
what happen if you needed to add critical package right after you burn the
DVD?  Would you keep cooking more DVDs?

Use a USB drive because it's more flexible.  It allows you to copy, remove,
and replace packages.
Use command "rsync" for transfer and replace update package, but you can
always choose other command that you're comfortable with.
