Not always. I tried dd once to make copy of a game i have and a program
(both legitimate copies of mine :) ) and after dd'ing and cdrecording
them, the copies where no good.
They were also for a win platform so there might be some parameters you
have to add for that to cdrecord, i'm not sure. But i've always wondered
why it worked with cdclone and not with the linux tools.
