Blocksize is actually very critical in imaging any but ISO9660, or

is not specified).
I'll grant that I should have specified bs=<lowest blocksize used on

Sorry... I was
thinking how to make image files from files in a
filesystem,
not how to make image files from a real CD-ROM.
dd is what you want, but the parameters may vary if the disc is not
a boring ISO-9660 type.
I doubt bs has any affect.
