I'm paraphrasing from memory, so apologies for factual errors.

The DVD version should have both install options on one disc (ie, normal 
GUI install or Alt-Install, which is the text based debian installer 
used for lower specs machines or more advanced specialized install 
options).  Also, the DVD should have more packages on the disc, which 
means, those packages can been installed later without connection to the 
Internet repositories.  (For reference, downloading *all* ubuntu 
packages, including the Universe/Multiverse repos, takes 3 dvd's)

Either way, the actual initial installation of Ubuntu on your computer 
should be identical, regardless of whether you used a CD or DVD install.
