On F7, if I enable automounting, I also only have the Eject choice in the
context menu when I insert a blank DVD or a finalized DVD with a filesystem
on it.  I get no desktop icon if I insert a finalized DVD with no
filesystem (a dump) on it.  The mount command shows a mounted filesystem
for the case of a DVD with a filesystem, and nothing for the other cases.
I don't know what would happen for other kinds of DVD, say of a
non-finalized DVD or a rewritable DVD.

Thus, in the case of a blank DVD there is no need to unmount it, as it is
not mounted.

I don't get that option in F7, at least not with the DVDs I tried.
