xorriso packs them up, xorriso packs them out.

It's more entertaining than watching cp -r. :))

In case one prefers silent operation, it is possible to restrict verbosity
to events of severity "WARNING" or worse:

  xorriso -report_about warning \
          -osirrox on:sort_lba_on:auto_chmod_on:o_excl_off \
          ...

In case you need to really fight for a damaged ISO, there would be ways
to combine the successfully read blocks from multiple runs of

  xorriso ...  -check_media  ...

to a single ISO image on disk and to inquire the paths of data files
which stay damaged.


Have a nice day :)
