Depending on the drive, you may also need to write multiples of 2048
bytes, padded if necessary. tar writes multiples of 512 bytes, so
using dd to pad it might be necessary. Even then, if you write
directly to /dev/sdD0/data, you'll need to fixate (close) the disc.
I'm not sure what there is to fear about iso 9660 format. It doesn't
encrypt your data and files tend to be written contiguously (I'm not
sure if that's required by the format or just a good idea to make
reading faster), so digging the data out by hand shouldn't be
difficult if suddenly all the world's 9660-reading programs stopped
working.
Note that using cdfs doesn't imply use of 9660 format, and using cdfs
would take care of fixating the disc at least.
