The kernel often copies a bit more data that was requested from a CD / 
DVD (I don't understand why, but I don't think dd is a workaround).  
What I do is just compare the CD / DVD with the original file with `cmp 
dev/dvd my.iso` and I usually get an error like "EOF on my.iso", which 
means that all the data in the original file matches the DVD.
