I've read that dd actually has problems reading from cdroms and isos produced with something like dd if=/dev/cdrom of=my.iso conv=noerror would be invalid.

I've never tried with conv=noerror, but dd has worked fine for me on several occasions when extracting ISO images from data CDs and DVDs. I don't use it any more because it is slow, cp and cat give the same result and are faster. -- Neil Bothwick ERROR #0915: MONITOR NOT PRESENT.
