Actually, if you have another CD-ROM (besides the CD-R) and it's
faster than the CD-R, you don't have to make an image at all. This is
the command I use, I think it's self-explanatory:
cdrecord dev=6,0 speed=2 -v -eject -isosize /dev/cdrom
This does a copy of the disc in the CD-ROM to the CD-R, keeping all
the extensions, labels, bootability et al because the entire ISO image
is copied verbatim with all its properties.
mkhybrid/mkisofs are for creating new CDs of course! Collecting files
and writing them to a CD. In other words files that you don't have a
master CD for.
