I'm a command-line junkie and don't use GUI tools for CD stuff.
"cdrecord" and "misofs" are all I use. :) Regardless, I never
actually burned the DVD image in question. This was all about reading
and comparing.

Hmmm, well, this is not an audio disc. :)

The disc I had was stamped, not laser-recorded. I suppose Red Hat
might be making their release master using laser recording, and then
delivering that to the disc producer.
