In my experience, the actual burn is often a little longer 
than the .iso it comes from.  It is padded with something that 
might as well be garbage.

If you only read the first N bytes, where N is the length of 
the .iso you used, it should work.

How about ....
	head --bytes=426893452 /dev/cdrom | md5sum
