Hey, I'm new to this forum and have searched it thoroughly without an adequate result for my problem.

For a research project I have to develop a method to 'reverse engineer' a DVD, retaining all extras like subtitles, audio tracks, video tracks etc. and putting all that stuff into an easily accessible format (database/fileserver combination). I reckon I have to use IFO parsing and I have access to the appropriate documents to learn the structure used.

However, I wonder if any work in that direction has been done, or if there even are already working methods for the whole process.

If you can read code ok, you could do a lot worse than check out:

vStrip, SmartRippper, IFOParser, etc may point you in the right direction.
