Everything ran without error messages but the last data file was always unreadable. If I mounted the cd.iso file as a vnode, the last data file could be read. Using mkisofs -pad -o cd.iso data_directory solved the problem. I don't know enough about cd burners to speculate whether this is unique to Memorex, but I suspect it is more general than that. I hope this could be of use to others. Thanks. Frank Greco
