The YDL ISO is a complete CD image in itself, with special settings
enabled to be bootable and readable by Linux systems, etc. What you are
doing above is copying the files off the CD and creating a brand new ISO
with none of the required settings, which won't work.
You need to find a CD writer program which is capable of writing the ISO
image directly to the CD without modifying it along the way. This goes
for all ISO distributed CDs, not just YDL.
