Some software will let you generate a "raw" image (2352 byte sectors

correction codes. But it doesn't have the bottom two layers, or the
interleaving, so by itself it doesn't gain much.

I've used CDRWIN to generate my 2353 byte raw images. This is
important to me because things like equipment manuals which contain
text can be kept heavily compressed, so if a single little error
creeps in, it can affect large portions of the text.
