iPhoto to Aperture Across Machines

So I had a few photos in the iPhoto Library on the laptop which needed to get imported into Aperture on the iMac. I was hoping this would be easy (and if I had just gone and booted into Target Disk mode it would have been).

The first thing I did was burn the entire Library to a DVD. I then put the DVD into the iMac and pointed Aperture at the DVD when it asked me for the location of the iPhoto Library. It was not happy with that idea at all. So I had to import the photos into iPhoto from the DVD and then import them into Aperture.

Don't waste your time doing it that way.
