Right, at the CD (colored book) level, but if you had the right kind of 
driver, and maybe the right kind of drive firmware, surely you ought to 
be able to tell the laser "give me the first bit on this disc and don't 
stop until end of media".  There should be a way to treat that 
bitstream as an image.

I'm assuming there's no formatting hard-coded on the CD-R media when 
you get a "blank" which would physically impose a structure beyond the 
ability of a bitstream to represent.  This may not be true.
