Padding in conjunction with TAO mode burning avoids run-out sectors at
the end of the ISO data. Without padding, the files on the CD would be
fine, but the ISO image could not be recreated unless the exact disc
size is known. Try the "readcd" command to read back an ISO image. If
it fails, the burnt CD is bad. For a few years now burners should
prefer DAO mode when burning data CDs.
