Do DVDs & CDs leave any information on a computer after playing th

[bwphotos]

I know that sometimes when you see a video or play a music file on the
internet, there is a copy of it left behind in your temporary files. Does
the same type of thing happen when you play a movie from a DVD or music from
a CD? Is there anything left behind in a "temporary" file or cache file? If
so, where can I find it? Can it be saved or deleted?
Thanks.

Thanks. OK, just to make sure that I understand how this actually works:

What you see or hear coming from the computer is information being read
directly from the disc and not a copy loaded into a temporary cache?

No.

MANY media player applications access an online database for CD
information like (not limited to) album title, artist name and track
names (as that information is NOT on a standard music CD - only an ID
number). The information is normally cached on the hard drive.
