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.

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:

$ volname dvd.iso
RUBY_SPEARS_SUPERMAN_DISC_01

Some other ways to get it:

lsdvd dvd.iso 2> /dev/null | grep "^Disc Title" | cut -d " " -f 3-
