In that case, then, it's probably not a bad image. mkisofs shouldn't
give your burner any trouble whatsoever. Also, somebody suggested the
following on this list before to check to see if an image is bad:
(Attributed to Eduard Bloch <edi@gmx.de>)
mount -o loop image.iso /mnt
tar c /mnt | wc
If tar reports any kind of read error, then you know that the
underlying image is bad.

Yeah. Could just be that you have a bum drive. That's weird that
cdrecord doesn't want to do DAO on it.
cdrecord does support -nofix and -fix, so maybe you could try burning
it with -nofix, and then going back afterwords and running -fix
separately. That way, the drive might have an easier time fixating if
it's a separate operation and has has time to reset? Total
speculation here on my part; I'm not a burning pro.
