Generating DVD Disc ID's ?

Paul Singh · 10th December 2001, 08:32

I'm trying to figure out if there is already a Disc ID somehow encoded onto DVD's, or if people saying there is one, just make up some magic algorithm ( DVD Profiler claims that Disc ID's are imprinted on DVDs and may be read with a DVD-ROM drive).

Code:

 Example:
  Vampire Hunter D: Special Edition Disc
  Label: VAM_HUNT_D 
  "ID" from DVD Profiler: 0F77D5F2

I'd like to be able to generate or rip the ID from the DVD, for a library program I'm trying to create. Thanks.

Well, after looking about, and some sleep, I've come to realize that the "ID" tag is just the HEX version of the disc serial number. Nothing like answering your own simple question and making yourself feel dumb

Hope this helps someone else.
