This is an email I sent to Jörg Schilling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> some time ago but neither he nor me have found the explanation. I send the email here to know if any of you know the explanation.
I've been comparing images produced with mkisofs and nero. I've seen that mkisofs writes 4 blank sectors that nero doesn't write at the headers. Are these blank sectors needed to conform to iso9660 ? Because images produced with nero work in every system I know about.
