Gerry,
I've only done a bootable usb drive. I'm posting below some notes on creating a
bootable DVD which I had found on the internet when I considering doing it
myself a few months ago.
HOpe this will help. See the text below my signature.

How to burn a Lion boot disc
by KELLY HODGKINS • JUNE 7, 2011
READ LATER
Mac OS X Lion will debut in July and this handy set of instructions from Egg
Freckles will let you create a boot disc for installation. OS X Lion will be
distributed via the Mac App Store and you can download the installer files to
your hard drive. Once you have the installer files, follow these steps to
create your very own boot disc:
• Use Finder to locate the Mac OS X Lion installer, right-click
and select "Show Package Contents"
• Find the SharedSupport folder and look for a file names
"InstallESD.dmg". This is the Lion Boot Disc image.
• Copy the "InstallESD.dmg" file to another folder such as your
desktop.
• Launch Disk Utility and click the burn button
• Select the "InstallESD.dmg" copy as the image to burn, insert a
DVD, and in a few minutes you will have a brand new Lion Boot Disc.
These instructions won't do much for everyone right now since OS X Lion is
still in the hands of the developers. Bookmark, Evernote or Instapaper this
post for future use. You'll be glad you did when Lion rolls out next month.
