In the event that you decided you want to burn a source DVD first, you
could then use something like this DVD multiplier

to burn your copies. This strikes me as a simpler approach than a
'burn farm' that's being proposed.

I'm not familiar with how long it takes to burn a DVD, but I know that
I can burn a CD in a few minutes -- and I can't imagine that a DVD
would take much longer.

Finally, the answer depends on your budget (time and money) -- how
fast do you want it, and how much money do you have to spend?
