I have a combined dvd/hd-dvd/bd drive on my machine (yeah, I'm very much the big man) which is all great and everything. However, I've got quite a few region 1 DVDs (on import, yeah?) that it won't play. I know I can switch my drive's region but this ...

I'm on Mac OS X, have a DVD in the DVD-drive and can look at it in the Finder. I'd like to try to create an iso of it by using the dd command. But to do that I need to know what device to use as an input. How can I find what device my DVD-drive is?

You can use drutil as well.
Into the drive, wait until OS X mounts it, and then type the following command in the Terminal:
$ mount, the drive is located at /dev/disk2 .

I have made a bootable USB stick which successfully installs Windows 7.
I'd also like to use it with VM Ware, which only recognises DVD drives.
Can I mount my bootable USB drive to emulate being a DVD drive?

Not without using an ISO image..
No, is the answer I seem to have found.
But you can create an ISO image from it using ISORecorder , then mount it with a tool like Virtual Clonedrive to achieve the same effect .
Not that I know of.

I have updated the firmware but to no avail.
Any ideas?

Perhaps it is something like SecuROM or something else that is running afoul on your system? I understand it may not be realistic to check, but have you performed a clean install of Windows and seen the same behavior?
