That underscores an important point.  That the file system on the
optical media may not be iso9660 hence using -t iso9660 would fail in
that case.  Omitting it causes the mount command to attempt to
determine the filesystem and mount it accordingly.  As long as it can
recognize it and that filesystem type is supported by your kernel you
are good to go.
