Hi Zenaan,

Are you doing -pad and padsize=63s? Back in the day, Linux had a flaw,
called the Linux read-ahead buffer bug, that caused errors on
raw-reading a CD if you didn't use both those arguments. I wrote about
it here:

Are you using those arguments, and do you read your written CDs/DVDs as
a device to check the md5sum against that of the iso you burned?

Thanks,
