No, I meant I think the CPU die is encased in solid metal to promote
heat transfer from it to the heat sink.

Like creating MP3 from a music DVD?

Mount it as a virtual dvd and treat it as if it was a disk. (Daemon tools,
etc)
Most DVD writing software will let you take an iso and burn to a DVD so that
the burnt disk looks like the original.
I wouldn't exactly be storing ripped DVDs if I couldn't do anything with
them...

Yes. Next question?
Oh, did anyone yet mention the rootshares for machines that boot from
the network (who would want a HD to spin around near sleeping facilities
(=the bed console) or in a HTPC?)?

Yes. dd if=/dev/dvd of=dvd.img

First of all, you'll have easily more than twice the data you'll
actually need. While shooting video you'll get *a lot* of misshoots.
Secondly, you'll need some scratch space. So the 1000GB can be divided
by 3 or 4 in the first place - 250 or 333GB ain't so much anymore...

Do you remember our talk about layers in image editing software?
Video editing software don't have layers per se, but tracks, which
is almost the same thing.
Usually the video editing process consists in having hundreds, if not
even thousands of video clips from which you create the whole video.

Oh... I wouldn't have expected that to work due to copy protection.

Isn't the DVD copy protection designed expressedly for the purpose of
completely preventing this from ever happening?

Well, hence my surprise... ;-)

Few discs have real copy protection.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video#Restrictions
"CSS does not make it more difficult to copy the digital content, nor
possible to distinguish between legal and illegal copies of a work, but
it does restrict the playback software that may be used."
"After DeCSS ripping software became available, companies developed
techniques to introduce errors in DVD-Video discs that don't normally
affect playback and navigation of a disc, but can cause problems in
software that attempts to copy the entire disc."

Ah, yes. Would sound pretty reasonable.
