Why do you believe that there is a difference?
    

The first computer might not have enough bandwidth for burning and
verifying. Or only a burner, not a burner and a reader. Also, when
trying to ensure that a burned disk is readable in more than one drive,
verifying it in a drive other than the one it was burnt in has been a
good idea since day -1.

As long as it is read on another drive the check is effective. While bandwidth problems are possible, they are pretty rare with recent hardware. DVD doesn't run very fast.
