Could you build this?

Partial The UI and ISO-image workflow are vibe-codeable, but reliable disc reading, sector-level imaging, and copy-protection-tolerant reads need low-level Windows and optical-drive expertise.

What it would actually take: A real version would wrap a Windows-native disc layer (IMAPI2 or SPTD/ASPI-style raw device access) behind a desktop UI in C# or C++. The hard parts are raw sector reads, error recovery on damaged discs, and ISO/UDF format correctness. Testing needs a range of physical drives and media.
