bootable DVD's are created the same way as CD's. You can store more information on the disc besides just the OS.
If you are looking for unattended installation of applications it is a little bit more complex. Acrobat reader has 3 things to install to get fully up to date. Search the forums for my older unattended script to clue you in. I now install from a bootable WindowsVista PE USB drive to install so I haven't been updating the scripts.

In the cmdlines.cmd file.
