Will iDVD & a PC communicate?

Hey guys,
Hopefully someone can help out. I burnt 25 copies of a DVD for a local law firm. It is a simple video on how to prepare for a deposition. The law firm will give this DVD to clients... it will take them a few months to give away the 25 DVDs, but for future burnings, they want me to tell them how to burn the next batch on their own.
I was going to do it in FCP 7, but figured Imovie to IDVD would be easier and honestly, it was- that is for me... but now the firm is needing to know how to burn and I don't know how to walk them thru the process.
Right now I have it as an iDVD file. But as long as they keep one disc, wouldn't they be able to burn the next batch of DVDs on their own? What would they need to do this and what are the steps for doing so? Is there anything I can give them to make it easier on them? They all use PCs, so please do not give me MAC instructions.
thanks

They would need the TS Video and Audio folders, and PC software that can burn a video DVD from those files.
 
Yep you could copy the folders of the finished DVD onto a hard drive and give that to them. Or give them the DVD itself and they can do the copying themselves and burn it on their PC. It's just data and no copy protection...

I'd highly recommend just giving them a DVD with no copy protection/encryption (call it a master copy) and let them do the copying. Any CD/DVD burning software should have a simple "copy/duplicate disc" feature that they can easily use without having to learn about folder structures, closing sessions etc.
