           Summary: Created ISO files are unusable / not real ISO files.

SUMMARY

I have created some ISO images with K3B of some old CD-ROMs, but after many
attempts to mount them in various ways with no success (not even to a
VirtualBox), I finally ran the file command on one, and it says:
"
lhs/off overflow 4294967295 0
zoombinis.iso: data
"

On the Hannah Montanah Linux ISO, on the other hand, it says:

"
hannah_montana_linux_x86_basic_edition.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data
'Hannah_Montana_Linux' (bootable
"

It seems that the files produced by K3B are not in fact ISO 9660 files. What is
going on?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Insert a real CD.
2. Use the K3B copy feature, set to "Clone copy" and "Only create ISO."
3. Attempt to mount the ISO using ohto the system using the mount command,
GNOME Disks, or the Dolphin menu option, or onto a VirtualBox.

OBSERVED RESULT
All programs will be unable to use the ISO, giving one error or another. The
file command will not identify it as an ISO.

EXPECTED RESULT
The produced file is a true ISO 9660 file, with it's semi-universal
compatibility.
