fsck is for checking filesystem integrity. I don't think the cd you burned has
a problem with the iso9660 fs unless your mkisofs was buggy.
What you wanna do is check that the image file got written on the cd correctly.

A simple way is just copying the cd image file to /dev/null with  `dd
if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null`.
