The cure that has worked for me is to pad the .iso with zero blocks.
Then the driver can read that stuff without getting indigestion.
I've enclosed a script that I call "isopad". You can use it to add
padding (isopad + x.iso), remove padding (isopad - x.iso), or report
padding (isopad x.iso).
I am curious why there's a need to do this externally. Both mkisofs and
cdrecord have "padding" options. Do they not do the trick?
