Nope, it won't (or, at least not by enough to make a difference):
Code:

But, it looks like the .iso files created are identical, so maybe it's only on the burning side that it makes a difference?
On a side note, anyone know how to create an md5 hash of a cdrom on FreeBSD? In Linux, one can just "md5sum /dev/cdrom" and get the same md5 hash as the .iso generated via dd, which doesn't seem to work on FreeBSD.
