dar looks familiar, I'm sure I have run across it in the past. However, it is not suitable in this case; see requirement #3 above that the DVD-Rs be usable without git or git-annex.
What would work we be some sort of special remote that allows free-form data. Imagine that you create the DVD-R with the files on it, then you mount it and add the mount directory as a free-form special remote. git-annex checksums all the files under the specified directory and stores the relative path to each file somewhere. Then, when you want to fetch a specific hash from the remote it looks up the relative path, adds it to the base directory and transfers it into the local .git/annex/objects/ store.
