Mounting a Samba share in Arch Linux

Today I had a need to copy some image files from a PC running Arch Linux so that I could edit them on my own PC. However the default DVD writing program in Arch Linux failed every time to record the DVD. I'm no expert in Linux but I think I'm able to have a good guess at getting things working, however I couldn't see anyway to access another computer on the network or get the DVD writer working.

Fortunately for me Google came to the rescue and directed me to the incredibly well written, and detailed, wiki for Arch Linux. Here I found a guide to creating a mount point and mapping that to a network share. Perfect!
