Due to the nature of virtual machines, they cannot talk to hardware directly. When you read a disk, you are actually communicating with an emulated drive, which then in turn reads the CD. To directly access hardware, you need IOMMU support in hardware (something not commonly found) and support for it in software (also something rare amongst virtualization solutions). Alternatively, it might be possible to add support to the emulated driver for writing, but then you wouldn't be testing the guest system's burning, but rather the host.
