For getting a key, you'd have to implement the DRM stuff, in particular
make efforts to keep keys and data encrypted wherever possible and
obfuscated wherever not possible. The later part is not really possible
with OpenSource (and probably no possible while using X11 in general
unless misusing the extension system).
I'll not even start to mention -vo yuv4mpeg and -ao pcm or mencoder.
