Thanks to everyone who has helped so far.
A fix for this does sound way over my head at the moment. Might just
have to stick with a VM and use flow thru settings to access the drive.

</span>How do you disable Finder's ownership of the DVD
drive?<br>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can;t turn it off completely without disabling all
automounting, as I understand it.</div>
<div>You can do it as a one-shot by using "diskutil list" to
see what device (diskN) the DVD is (this is dynamic and
will depend on what other fixed and removable media is
mounted) and then "diskutil unmint diskN" to unmount it;
the automount stuff will then ignore the drive until you
are done with it and either "diskutil mount" or "diskutil
eject" it.</div>
