Has anyone ever tried to mount the CD32 motherboard inside a CDTV, or would the custom 1x CD-Rom interface be prohibitive?

What would you connect to the LCD, buttons etc? I agree that the CDTV case is nicer than the CD32 one.. but a heart transplant is not going to be easy / practical.

On a similar note, assuming the DVD-Rom drive could be replaced, and that it was hooked up to a CD32 with the FMV add-on, would DVD movie playback be possible?

No. It's an MPEG1 decoder and DVD's are MPEG2.
