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.
