It's not necessary to check the md5 of the burned DVD, a better test is
to try and boot the DVD. Thats the only step I would change. FYI some
printers require you deliver a hard copy to them. So account for that or
upload time.

Download ISO
Confirm Checksum
Burn two DVDs (just in case) (preferably on two different systems)
Boot from DVD into Live session
Post DVDs to duplicators with artwork files on CD, (or uploaded to
duplicators site)

Thanks,
Alex
