I would look at the tools that the preservation groups use for doing this. The optical media layouts are funky and IIRC using dd on the block device is not enough to archive a bit-for-bit copy. There are details about the track layout and so on that need to be recorded separately. This is why formats like BIN/CUE exist. eg. https://wiki.redump.info/Redump#Technical_Questions

    Thanks for mentioning the redump wiki. I hadn’t considered others might be working on this for preservation. I’ll need to dive deeper into it.
