You could also try mounting the iso image on the loopback or how ever
you do it (I know freebsd method, never tried in linux) and check that
the individual files have the same md5sums to that of the files on the
cd.

Something like,

find . /cdmountpoint -exec md5sum {} \; > output
find . /isomountpoint -exec md5sum {} \; > output2

diff output output2

Might work.
