Hey folks,
what started as a thread seeking for help I now convert to a HOWTO: Burn a LiON DVD on a Windows PC.
For all of those who don't have a DVD burner in their Mac or don't have a USB (flash) drive at hand or simply want to use some of those now-useless DVD-Rs they have lying around here's what you need to do:
1. Copy the InstallESD.dmg from the Lion Installer.app someplace eg /tmp
2. Open terminal.app and type in the following command
hdiutil convert -format UDTO /tmp/InstallESD.dmg -o /tmp/Lion.iso
3. rename Lion.iso.cdr to Lion.iso
4. Copy it to a Windows PC
5. Burn with ImgBurn ( ww.imgburn.com ), a Single Layer 4,7GB DVD-R is enough
Note: don't burn too fast otherwise your Mac might not want to boot from the disc - at least that's what bugged me the first time I tried

You can use TransMac. This software allows you to mount .dmgfiles within Windows XP and burn to cd/dvd.

Here is the link to their website:http://www.asy.com/scrtm.htm

Burn Mac Os X Dmg To Dvd Windows

TransMac seems to have problems with burning double layer DVDs.If you're not satisfied with that, or would like to use NEROinstead anyway, then I'm almost sure, that the expanded dmg file isin fact identical with an iso image. So expand the file, and renameit to iso, and use another burner to burn the bastard!!!!!! :)

I in fact used ultraiso to convert the dmg to iso (to expandit), but the resulting file is exactly the same size that ofcreated by transmac. moreover, transmac calls expanding as'converting to iso'.

Method 2: There is a simple freeware app called DMG2ISOthat does the same thing in an easy way. Just right click an openthe DMG file with this utility. You will find the converted ISO inthe same page.
