I went through man mkisofs(8) and came to following conclusion.

If the original mode of directories and files are;
directory=0664
file=0664
owner and group=satimis:satimis

To preserve the original state after burning, the command line will be;

# mkisofs -o cd.iso -r -uid satimis -gid satimis -dir-mode 0664
-file-mode 0664 -new-dir-mode 0664 /path/to/data 

If I'm wrong please correct me.

I'm not clear of -z option, what does it mean "transparently compressed
file" and "the resulting disks are only transparently readable'?

TIA
