They are both iso9660 images, aren't they? So from data image point
of view there's no difference, it is not worth to create another mode
for dvd data.

We should not emulate cd drive to support different cd media type,
it is far more better to support just iso9660 volume no matter how
large the size is as long as it is fit for iso9660 spec.

OTOH, the size limitation is a bug:
* isofs can be less than 300 sectors, the 300 sectors limitation is for
music cd I think. Try mkisofs a blank directory and burn it.

* There's 99 minutes dics even for cdrom, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-R
If we code to support different size discs, it will looks like a wrong way.

Thanks
Dave
