It is a much more reliable test to test the DVD via the Yast media check, which obviously reads a different md5 hash made for the written DVD. There are some slight differences between the written DVD and the iso, I believe because of formatting of block sizes, or something like that. Media check utility IIRC has been available now since 9.3, and works on even the 10.3 DVD, since it retrieves info obviously on the DVD itself. Also, the 10.3 install offers to check the DVD as part of the install. So do not rely on the same md5 hash for the written DVD, it is different. If the downloaded iso matched, your download should be OK. If the disk passes the Media Check, it tests the disc (based on I assume the hash written to the disc, as well as the combination of the disc and drive reading capability (if checked on the machine being installed to). HTH.
