Noticed when Aaru wouldn't allow me to convert an aaruf image of a Photo CD to another format, as well as when trying to dump the same Photo CD to a format such as MDS. Either the existing force option or a new option to allow the media type to be changed should be used to allow other image formats to be used to store Photo CD data that has been dumped by Aaru. This is especially important as no other currently supports Aaru format, making mounting a disc image of a Photo CD (and likely others) created by Aaru impossible.
