 ====== 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.

+$ dvd_info --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 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.
