I've long dealt with this problem. Anytime I come across a problematic DVD, I've got to pop it open via sudo. Which of course raises all kinds of security issues.

I can definitely see the difficulty this causes for a developer. Ideally you want to preserve the permissions, yet the reality is the vast majority of those DVD's floating around are meant to usable by anyone who plops it in a drive.

I think something along the lines of a permission under the Users and Groups like "Use DVD as Owner" might be an acceptable alternative or perhaps a DVD user group that mounts DVD's as owner might suffice.
