I think it's called a ripper.

Related to CDs and DVDs: I found out this morning that Kodak is getting
out of the Photo CD business (they no longer service their equipment)
and a lot of the local labs are switching to the more-expensive Nikon
CoolScan which I have no experience with. Foxey, do you have any pro
image scanning experience? The Photo CD came with multiple resolutions
of each image (4096, 2048, 1024, 512, 256, 128) whereas the CoolScan is
variable like an old drum scanner and you only get one resolution. Any
recommendations?

Lurkers: Kodak Photo CD and Photo CD Pro were professional-quality
scans from 35mm film, and were an easy way to get quality images into a
computer. Drum scanners were designed for screening -- you'd take a
photograph, decide on what portion of the photograph you wanted on the
printed page, do some quick calculations to figure out how many scan
lines you needed for the printing press screen (dots per inch) you were
using, and then stick the photograph into the scanner and press start.
I know nothing about CoolScan.
