Did you modify the file at some point whilst transferrig the files? because it's simply not possible for an MD5 hash to be different for identical files. What is it you're using to generate the MD5 hash? and have you tried generating the hash directly from the DVD? (basically because some modding of the file could be done at some point from A to B)...

Cheers,
Jamey
