The conv=noerror should let it continue after the read error. Unless they did something strange like made the reported size larger then the amount of data on the CD. I guess that would make a fair copy protection method - anything program trying to copy the image would try to read past the end of the recorded data. I think all it would take is changing a byte or two in the ISO image after creating it, but before pressing it. Something to look into...
