That is, this would be an easy thing to try out. One could also make an ISO from the resulting CD/DVD and then compare the files.
What I find is that most folk need to read more tutorials about making the DVD/CD as well as how to get the PC to boot from such. After that, some OSes don't support a part of the PC such as WiFi which can be confusing to some.

So if I were to burn a CD/DVD ISO, could I then checksum the resultant disk, and would the checksum of the disk be related to the checksum of the ISO?
