Better use:
dd if=/dev/dvd | head --bytes=4595124224 | md5sum

I'm curious: Why? :-?

I mean, why is it better, what is the advanteage?

where replace 4595124224 with the size in bytes of the iso (this value is for
beta1 iso).

Why not use "count" and "bs" instead of "| head..."? It saves a huge piping job.
