It's not that simple; a DVD burner needs extra control codes that our 
virtual disk device driver does not support. The best you could do would be 
to give the domU control of the IDE controller itself, but as it probably 
has your hard drive on it's probably not the best way :-/
You'll probably want to find some compromise using other features in the 
system (e.g. mkisofs on a partition, then unmount that partition in the 
guest, mount it in dom0, then burn in dom0. You could make this work via a 
script which the guest could call).
Cheers,
