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
