FYI, Build = creation of the DVD files (the disk image), Format = burning the DVD files (disk image) onto a DVD. It's just called something different.
I'm not sure if you're using Disk Utility to do the burn/format at this point because of the issues, or if that was originally part of your workflow, but it's normally not necessary unless you have a really specific reason for it.
