Is this possible in OSX? In Windows, you can just right-click the drive and enable sharing.

You should be able to mount the blank disc and drag files to it in the Finder, but you'd probably have to walk to the other machine to initiate the burn. Unless there's something I don't know, which is highly likely.

Yes, it is possible. I do it all the time from my cube, which is the only DVD drive I have for my Macs.

If you want to burn on it, you will have to transfer files to Mac connected to DVDR and burn from toast on that computer. You can do that remotely, if you use remote access.

Hmmm...
I didn't know you could share CD/DVDs from one Mac to another.
How is this done?
I'm hoping it isn't anything complex because on Windows, all you have to do is right-click and select the share this volume option.

If you log in remotely using an administrator's* login, then all mounted volumes are available.

Can it be done from a PC running Windows? Everyone up until now has mentioned Mac to Mac.

I don't know where the others got the idea of wanting to burn the disc. 
By default, Mac OS X shares only the public folder when using Windows file sharing. If you want to share a particular folder or drive, I'd recommend the use of SharePoints, a free System Preferences add-on which allows you to control several aspects of file sharing with Windows computer.
