I have preformed some tests and guess what cdrkit works! Imagine that. It burnt the iso's for Slackware distribution, and using md5sum to sum both a Slackware distribution disk burned by both cdrkit and cdrtools and they are the same, how did that happen?
There is a 99,99999999999999999999999999999999999% chance that you did never used cdrtools.

Please show me the evidence to support your position. Please what evidence do you have that I have never used cdrtools? As a user of Linux since 1995 your assertions are ridicules. Just being a user from 1995 proves your claim to be false. Yes that is before cdrkit was ever released. I have been a early beta tester for Turbolinux, would you like a copy of my beta/prerelease TurboLinux CDs from that period? I also have RedHat Linux official versions from 5.0 to 9.0 and non official release 4.2 which I ran oracle on, the oracle db required Red Hat 4.2 at that time, again you look it up. Please do this, download Slackware 12 or 13 _LOOK_ at what it being distributed. You _WILL_ find that it is cdrtools. One _HAS_ to remove it by choice as I did and build and install cdrkit. Would you like my build script for cdrkit? Here is the script I used to test cdrtools and cdrkit #!/bin/sh # $Id: burnt_iso_md5_check.sh,v 1.1 2008/03/22 16:51:22 root Exp root $ # Written 2008 by Eric Hameleers <alien@slackware.com> # # This command will check the md5sum of a cd (ignoring possible padding at # the end by only checking the same amount of bytes at the iso image) and # also check the md5sum of the ISO image. # Idea found at: # http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=3077366#post3077366 # and expanded a bit. # if [ $1 ]; then isoFile=$1 else echo "Usage: $0 <iso-image> <cd-drive>" echo "E.g. $0 /tmp/slackware-12.0.iso /dev/dvd" exit 1 fi if [ $2 ]; then cdDrive=$2 else echo "Usage: $0 <iso-image> <cd-drive>" echo "E.g. $0 /tmp/slackware-12.0.iso /dev/dvd" exit 1 fi if [ ! -b $cdDrive ]; then echo "ERROR.

You just want to argue your point. You can continue to claim the above, But you now have _ZERO_ credibility with me.
