I just do `dd if=/dev/cdrom of=imagefile`  This has worked for both linux
(iso9660)
and windows (el torito or whatever it is) cd's.  I know the iso was
bootable, too.
Make sure the cd is NOT mounted (but inserted).  I don't think this will
work if it is mounted.
After the image is created i do a once over the contents by mounting it to a
temp
dir: `mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop imagefile /mountpoint` then `find
/mountpoint` or something.
After testing the image i umount then do: `cdrecord -v speed=2 fs=16M
dev=1,0,0 imagefile`
Your dev and speed may differ from mine, though.
