How can I back up my iPhoto library to DVDs?

How can I back up my iPhoto library to DVDs? I'm using iPhoto '09 and have an 80GB library. I want to back everything up to DVDs, because I figure that's the cheapest / most reliable solution. (I plan to have a couple of copies and keep them in different places.)

"I know this isn't answering your question, but are you aware that optical media can degrade over time? It might be simplest to do full backups every so often so you have multiple copies of your photos just in case.

There are some questions that discuss this:

Do you trust CD-R/DVD-R backups?
Long-term backup storage media"

"Quick directions are given on the iPhoto FAQ.

You should be able to follow the same instructions for your incremental backups by click-and-dragging only the new content to the DVD rather than the whole Library."
