Basically no, take a look at this thread for details - http://communities.vmware.com/thread/281890?tstart=0.

Thanks Dave,

reading that thread, I saw this KB: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=100313...

It says you can burn using client cdrom. What exacly is this? A virtual dvd drive that creates a ISO like image? Or is just a diferent config option to access the actual host drive?
