Why do you use mkisofs if you're just copying a cdrom?

I usually use 'dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/filename.iso' to create an ISO
image from the original cdrom and then 'cdrecord /tmp/filename.iso' to
burn a new cdrom from that image.

This method works well for data only and has no problems with bootable
cdroms.
