Irrelevant.

"A burned CD/DVD" *is* a file.  At least on reasonable OSes.  E.g.,
did you try \\.\M: ?  If Windows does not support this, one can just
make an ISO image from the disk, and use FC (or diff).

Hope this helps,
Ilya

P.S.  In my experience, byte-per-byte comparison is not relevant.  At
      least, I never saw a disk which could be read byte-per-byte, but
      the result would differ from what it is supposed to be.  Disks
      with some unreadable sectors - a plenty (a hundred?); but if
      fully readable, then correct.
