If you're using dd with the cdrom as your source, no. You're
duplication the contents, which are already in iso format. mkisofs is for
making an ISO from a file structure that *isn't* in ISO9660 format. My
example before of using mkisofs on the mounted file system, would work fo=
r
replication of the iso, since you're just creating a new one from a
mounted file system, but as has been pointed out, won't maintain
boot sectors and the like.
