No. Please see my other post in this thread. I'm struggling to think of a non-technical analogy, but basically what's going on here is that most data-copying tools, when used in the most common ways, are looking at CD-ROMs like they would look at the logical disk presented by a RAID5 array.
That works fine most of the time. But imagine if the computing industry had come up with a "RAID5 Mode 2" that was actually RAID0, where the parity disk was just used to store more user data instead of parity data, but most of the copying tools didn't know the difference between "RAID5" and "RAID5 mode 2", and so they just copied 2/3 of the data, on the assumption that the parity data would be recreated on the receiving end. 1/3 of the user data just went down the drain. That's basically what's happening when you try to store anything other than a 100% vanilla data CD-ROM as an ISO file instead of bin/cue.
