I know I can cancel it.

I had a root around in the com.apple.DiskUtility.plist file and perhaps this might work? (YMMV)

defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DRBurnOptionsVerifyBurn -bool no

Its a pref file - you can just trash it and it will recreate itself the next time you restart disk utilities.
