I burned Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso to blank dvd.
One time I used wodim, and 2nd time I used growisofs.
After each burn, I would dd the dvd back in:

dd if=/dev/sr0  of=f14.iso bs=2k

In both cases the size of f14.iso was 10240 bytes larger than
Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso.

So, naturally, I will not be able to get the same sha256 sum
as that of Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso

So, how do I dd the dvd in and get the same size as original iso?

Perhaps growisofs and wodim are padding during burn.
If that is the case, how do I suppress it?
