kirkmc adds: I haven't tested this. Given the cost of USB sticks, and the fact that, if you do want an installer, it's better to have the most recent one, I've gone that route using Lion DiskMaker.Some people may prefer DVDs, but another factor is whether or not your Mac has an internal DVD drive; my Macs - a Mac mini and a MacBook Pro - do not, so USB is easier than using an external drive. Nov 22, 2015 Apple removed the ability to burn disc images from Disk Utility from MacOS High Sierra, Sierra, OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and newer, and while that makes sense for many Macs that no longer have SuperDrives, CDRW, and DVD burners, for those who use an external burner, use disc drive sharing, or who do have hardware with a built-in SuperDrive, may find it frustrating to lose such a feature. In the left-hand column, the Mac OS X Install DVD will be listed in the following manner: At the top of the hierarchy will be the name of the drive itself (for example, 2.6 GB PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-117D); the subheading under that name will be either Mac OS X Install DVD or Session 1; if the latter, the subheading under that name will be Mac OS X. Click on Mount. In some cases (using certain file browsers or desktop environments) the mounted image is not opened automatically, so it is useful to know the mount point. To unmount, select that line to see the mount point clearly visible beside the 'Unmount' button that has now become active.

Hint author here. I'll agree that in most cases you would be better off using a USB flash drive (8 gig drives cost practically nothing these days.) In my case, my employer asked that I create some bootable DVDs, and I didn't want to have to order a bunch of dual-layers. I'm sure there are others in similar circumstances.

I haven't tried the script, but it probably won't work in bash without properly escaping and/or quoting the paths with spaces on them.
Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD
You're absolutely right - good catch. The paths were fully escaped when I submitted the hint, but it looks like the backslashes got stripped out after submission.
I'll see about getting it fixed. In the meantime, you can download the escaped version here:

Were they back slashes, or forward slashes?

Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer -revised script
The shell script does require some modification. I have copied my version of the script below. I had the install app in a Downloads folder. You will need to change that reference to where your copy of the app is located. This ran in Terminal, after I saved the text as 'MLresize.sh', using nano, and ran on the file.
(I've got a lot of blank DVDs. And they won't get zapped by lightning like my Base Station did.)
The script ran in a few minutes, much less time than actually burning the DVD.
I just dropped the created .dmg file into Disk Utility, selected it, and clicked on burn.
After burning, the disc shows in System Preferences->Startup Disk as bootable.
Although I haven't tried it out yet.

How exactly does this work? How can you reduce the uncompressed size of an image without losing any data?
Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD
The image itself has a fixed size of 4.75 GB, but contains only 4.35 GB of data. All we're doing is trimming the free space.
Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD
So you can't just use Image/Resize in Disk Utility? (I'd try it, but I don't have Mountain Lion.)
Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD
Resize only works for read/write disk images, so, no.
Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD
I just copy/pasted the stuff for terminal, not bothering with the bash and everything worked as advertised. Verifying burnt disc now. Thanks!!

@kirkmc Why do you need Lion DiskMaker? Can't you just restore the InstallESD image in Install X Mountain Lion/Contents/SharedSupport using Disk Utility?
I have an installer on a USB and an SDHC Card using the restore method.

@derekJAB,
you can in fact restore InstallESD.dmg. Just remember to mount the dmg for Mountain Lion.
If you don't, disk utility will throw you an error.

So I already deleted the Install thing in applications. I copied the InstallESD.dmg image to my desktop (cause I like to keep things on my desktop) and changed the script accordingly. That should work for you too.

If you do want to get the Mountain Lion installer InstallESD.dmg to fit on a single layer DVD, you can use the overburn feature of hdiutil in Mac OS X.
AFTER inserting a blank DVD, bring up terminal, navigate to the dmg folder and type:
hdiutil burn InstallESD.dmg
Depending on your brand of DVD your mileage may vary.

You can infact burn the installer to a single layer DVD, using a feature called overburn. This is much simpler than it sounds..
AFTER inserting a blank DVD, bring up terminal, navigate to the dmg folder and type:
hdiutil burn InstallESD.dmg
Depending on your brand of DVD your mileage may vary. It's not unusual to get errors after finishing the burn but as long as the Finishing Burn message is shown, the disc will function as expected.

I think using any of these methods will cause the image to have a different checksum than the original. If that's not important to you, don't fret.
$ man hdiutil
-[no]optimizeimage do [not] optimize filesystem for burning.
Optimization can reduce the size of an HFS or
HFS+ volume to the size of the data contained
on the volume. This option will change what
is burned such that the disc will have a dif-
ferent checksum than the image it came from.
The default is to burn all blocks of the disk
image (minus any trailing Apple_Free).
