IR record/playback? for hacking a remote....

Hello-
I need to control a DVD player with my stamp. I was thinking about hacking
straight into the remote and wiring directly to the traces by the buttons...
but then I got all ambitious and starting thinking about how to do it a
better way-
I don't know very much about IR communcation, so I'm not sure if what I'm
suggesting is really practical but for the sake of discussion-
I want to access tracks on the DVD player via the keypad's numbers... Is
their someway of using the stamp to record the data sent when a particular
key is pressed? Then use an IR LED to output this same info when I need to
start the DVD?
I'm sure this is more complex then I'm guessing, is there any somewhat ready
to go modules out there? TIA!

Hi Lou -
Who is the manufacturer of the DVD unit ? Once we know that there may be
a chance of replicating the IR signals. NO PROMISES : )

Apex- Model AD-1500
Why would one model be easier than another? I don't know anything about the
data in the infrared signal, but I would imagine that if you can read it,
you can resend it- Are you suggesting not reading it at all, but just
sending it?
