Burn ISO file on virtual machine to real DVD

iso-imagevirtualbox

I've a 3 gigabyte ISO file on my Ubuntu virtual machine on VirtualBox, and I would like to burn this file to a real DVD. I know that I can burn an ISO file to a DVD using right-clicking on the file and choosing "Write To Disc", but if I try that, my real DVD is not listed. How can I make sure that my real DVD is listed so I can burn the ISO file to it?
