David, the .iso files are an image of exactly what goes on the CD, they're
not files (in that sense). What your CDROAST is doing is re-building an
ISO image which in this case it should not be doing. With the ISO files
you don't have to worry about boot sectors, el-torito, Joliet encoding
blah blah ... essentially it's just copying blocks to the CDR.
