 ====== DVD Title ======
-Each disc will have a title assigned to it.  This is a small string.  The disc title is **not** a unique identifer in itself, but it can be used as an element in creating one if you are archiving your titles.

+I used to have a ''dvd_title'' binary I wrote, but I merged it into [[dvd_info]] instead. It returns the UDF volume name. It must be an ISO or the DVD itself in the drive to print it.
+<code>
+$ dvd_info --title
+BATMAN_BEYOND_SEASON_1_DISC_2
+</code>
+Each disc will have a title assigned to it.  This is a small string.  The disc title is **not** a unique identifer in itself, but it can be used as an element in creating one if you are archiving your titles. I recommend using the [[dvd_id|DVD id instead]].
+Most of this page content is old, since I have [[dvd_info]] now.
+Most programs that access your DVD will at some point usually spit it out as part of displaying the metadata.
 There are a few ways to get the title from a disc.  In this case, I'm using Ruby Spears Superman, disc one.
+Volname is the simplest one, if you are looking to use it for a shell script:
 <code>
@@ Line 9: / Line 26: @@
 RUBY_SPEARS_SUPERMAN_DISC_01
 </code>
+Some other ways to get it:
+<code>
+lsdvd dvd.iso 2> /dev/null | grep "^Disc Title" | cut -d " " -f 3-
+</code>
+Or you can use ''dd'':
+<code>
+dd if=VIDEO_TS.IFO bs=1 count=32 skip=64 2> /dev/null
+</code>
+Also, here's a small C program I <del>wrote</del> cobbled together from multiple sources to get it as well:
+<code c>
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <stdlib.h>
+#include <unistd.h>
+#include <string.h>
+#include <sys/ioctl.h>
+#include <fcntl.h>
+#include <linux/cdrom.h>
