There are embedded MD5 checksums, sometimes 20 of them per .iso.
See /usr/bin/implantisomd5.  Watch messages from /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk.

The drive+system which burned the DVD/CD might be different
from the drive+system which is reading the DVD/CD at install time.
Even on the same system, some drives use a different transducer
for reading than for burning.
Temperature, humidity, electrical supply irregularities, etc., can
affect data integrity.
