dvd_info

My own set of C programs that are small utilities for reading DVD info, and managing DVD drives.

Included:

  • dvd_info - a successor in spirit to lsdvd, can output information about a DVD in human-readable or JSON output
  • dvd_drive_status - poll the DVD drive to see the status of a drive: open, polling, closed with no disc, closed with disc
  • dvd_eject - a small eject utility that does its best to make sure a drive is properly closed and ready to go before being able toa ccess it (very useful for shell scripts that access DVD drives)

To download, see http://bluray.beandog.org/dvd_info/.
