Unable to create "filename.cdr". (Input/output error)

I am trying to create an ISO from a CD. I've tried using Disk Utility, with all different settings, and Terminal. Additionally, I attempted to make the ISO using an array of third party CD-rippers on a PC. Every platform and method has yielded this error message:

Unable to create "filename.cdr". (Input/output error) after several seconds of processing.

I am stuck. The only thing I can think of is that the CD is read-only, though I don't know how to modify my approach in response to this. Can it still be done with a read-only disk? If so, any help in this would be appreciated.

Beyond that, the disk's format is ISO 9660 (Rockridge). I don't know of any other details to provide, but gladly will if anyone can come up with any.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.3)
