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

Includes:

  * ''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_copy'' - copies a title straight to harddrive or stdout
  * ''dvd_player'' - a DVD player using [[mpv|libmpv]]
  * ''dvd_rip'' - a DVD ripper using [[mpv|libmpv]]
  * ''dvd_backup'' - back up a DVD completely, similar to [[dvdbackup]] (note the different names)
  * ''dvd_debug'' - a program to display an excessive amount of information about a DVD

The code is open-source, licensed under GNU GPL v2.

Source code is available at [[https://github.com/beandog/dvd_info]].

Build requirements: libdvdread, libdvdcss, libmpv (optional, needed for ''dvd_player'' and ''dvd_rip'')

=== Installation ====

Then you can do standard ''./configure; make; make install''

==== Documentation ====

Run ''--help'' to see what it can do.

There is more documentation available on the [[https://github.com/beandog/dvd_info/wiki|project wiki]]. Also, there are ''man'' pages for each program.

==== Operating Systems ====

I've written it so it will build and run on [[FreeBSD]], [[OpenBSD]], and [[NetBSD]]. You will just need to install the library dependencies and you'll be good to go.

I don't have a Mac otherwise I'd make sure it works on OS X. I'm sure it's fine though.
