 mounted via -o loop and there were no differences.

There are several possibilities which come to my mind.

Regardless of whether the image can be loop mounted or not, have you
tried to download it again - maybe from another mirror - or have you
checked the MD5 or SHAxxx checksums of the downloaded iso? Maybe the
file is corrupt.

Have you tried to burn it onto another blank DVD from a different
manufacturer? Maybe your blank DVDs don't work well together with your
DVD writer.

Have you checked that you have built every necessary kernel module?
Maybe your missing one like the mentioned UDF module or a hardware
(drive/bus) related module.

I guess with this drive you mean the drive in the other box? Otherwise
the drive could be faulty.

Have you checked the cables?

Or in case of a bug in cdrecord, have you tried to downgrade cdrtools?

There is a CD/DVD guru on here that will likely know what's going wrong,

 But its an iso, and I can mount the .iso via loop, why should it care
 about udf support and I think udf is trying to read the cd, because its
 apparently not thinking its an iso9660 file system.

Just because it is an image file with a .iso extension does not mean it
uses the iso9600 filesystem. DVDs do use UDF. Can you mount it with -t
udf.

What does isoinfo -d -i /path/to/file.iso say about it?

Also, confirm that a)the downloaded iso file and b)the CD is not corrupt.  For 
the iso file run:

 sha1sum somefile.iso 

and check that it matches the sha1 checksum published at the website.

For the CD run:

 ls -l somefile.iso

to find how big the is file, for example 650,000,000 bytes.  Then run:

 dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=65000 | sha1sum

(This is necessary to exclude any code after the end of the iso content which 
the cdrecord will write on the CD to close the recording session).

Even if a sha1 or md5 hash is not available from the website, you can at least 
compare the two hashes between the iso file and the CD.
