  I essentially just used "cdrecord file.iso".  I notice now that cdrecord
has a "-pad" option, but knowing almost nothing about burning CDs, it didn't
occur to me to use it.  I'll try reburning the CDs next time using this to
see if it works.
  If this is the cause, can it be explained using the size of the ISOs why
disk 2 is the only one to check okay when padding isn't used?
