This is what I'm doing. Unfortunately, Linux can't read it. If I
manually format a CD to iso9660, I can read it, so I know the app is
capable of writing something my machine understands. I also can mount
that file (before burning) via loop and read it, as iso9660. But when I
burn from iso as you describe, only win can read it. It is doing
something somewhere that it shouldn't, probably trying to be smarter
than the user (and in the end breaking things). *Arrgghhh*.
