FYI, within the past 2 weeks I downloaded the 5.3-RELEASE image to an 
OSX mac and successfully burned it, not sure exactly what site it was.

I never looked at the label however. One thing to remember though, when 
burning ISOs on an OSX mac the best way I've found it to open up a 
terminal (Applications / Utilities, if I remember correctly) and then do 
'hdutil burn isoname'
