This question has been asked here by me about three days ago. I didn't
have this working on Linux (since I don't have any Linux here), but I
thought I used the command on FreeBSD in the past, and when I tried
recently, it didn't work. The solution:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso bs=2048

This should work - it does for me and reportely for many others.

Greetings
