You could extract the video track, pipe the output to mtv and let mtv play
from stdin. To read raw data off the cd, you will need to use the
SCIOCOMMAND (if you have a SCSI cdrom) or CDIOATAPIREQ (for atapi cdrom)
ioctl. I have the code for atapi cdrom (I don't have a scsi cdrom drive),
if you need I can dig them out for you.
