macOS 10.14 Mojave on Mac Pro (Mid 2012) DVD not appearing in Finder

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Since updating this older Mac to Mohave the DVD no longer functions. When inserting a disc the dialogue box asks as per usual "You inserted a blank DVD. Choose an action from the pop-up menu or click ignore." Selecting OK the disc doesn't appear on the desktop? Using a third party software like toast I can burn a video DVD but I can't back-up my work files as I usually do. Looks like a software issue rather than hardware.

I have the same problem with an external optical drive with by new iMac. It's a bug in Mojave and all we can do is report it via the link provided by Eau Rouge and wait till it's fixed in the next update.

However, there is a workaround if you want to burn files to disk: Control (right) - click on the folder containing the files and select "Burn XXXX to Disc" from the contextual menu. You don't need to see the disk.
