The first thing that springs to mind is to try without the -dvd-compat
switch.  The ISO image should already be in the correct format, and not
need any further tweaking.

Otherwise, you might want to try experimenting with using cdrecord, or
not installing from a DVD (e.g. do the installation from the ISO file on
the hard disk somewhere).
