I want to second the comments concerning OS X's capability right out of the box.
Several years ago, I have a friend return from a trip to the Czech Republic with
a couple of dual layer DVD's(back when that meant something), region 2 music
video's in PAL format that she had wanted to play here in the States. It seems
like there were a couple of additional hangups also, but I can't remember what
they were.
I had asked questions to a couple of different mailing list, all of which had
suggest Toast. I own a couple of legal copies of Toast, but they were older
versions that ran on Classic Mac OS. I wasn't interested in purchasing another
copy for this little project.
Once I got everything configured the way I wanted it, I was able to burn a DVD
for my friend that she was able to play in her home DVD player. I used the
standard drive tools as shipped directly from Apple.

Yes, it was trivial to do 10 years ago on a Mac with Toast.
I also have the last Solborne distribution CDs dumped.
OSX can do it out of the box.
It wasn't clear from the original post if these are data or music CDs.
Either one is easy, it isn't even that difficult on Linux, though the PC
products tend to be more polished.
This assumes no bletcherous standards-violating copy protection schemes were
employed, of course.
