Well, of course, Ubuntu can't actually play the vast majority of DVD movies until the user enables the restricted decryption libraries. It's the same with the Flash tests; how can we check if something works if the software isn't even installed? Burning a CD is absolutely core and there's no reason it shouldn't work on any computer that can run Ubuntu.
