What DVD's display "DVD_VIDEO" in drive?

[lckeys]

Hi,

This may seem to be something to file under "useless information", but does anyone know of a place where I can find which DVD's are not named?

(Clarification: The Discs that only show up as "DVD_VIDEO" when inserted in my PC's drive, as opposed to an actual film title.)

Any ideas? I know there are places that list what films are on pressed on DVD5/DVD9, but is the above info available anywhere?

Also, if no such list exists to anyone's knowledge, maybe someone can answer this:

When DVDD reads a disk and tells me a movie title (e.g. "CHARLIE_AND_THE_CHOCOLATE_FACTORY) and the Source Media Implementation Identifier: (UDF Toshiba DVD Video), where on the disc is it finding this information? Is there a way to extract the info manually by accessing a certain spot in the VIDEO_TS folder?

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Is there a way to extract the info manually by accessing a certain spot in the VIDEO_TS folder?I believe "DVD InfoPro" can generate that information...

Hard disk's and DVD disk's have a Volume label and floppy's and cd-rom's and so on. Cd's don't.

hehe... there's DVD review pages out there that spot typos in this (like a guy here in his early days accidentally named a disc for replication "STEVE_TEST1")

So I take it the volume label is part of the disc's content, not associated with the barcode in the BCA...
But where, exactly is this information found? Is it in the VIDEO_TS folder? Can I navigate to it without using any additional programs?

[Ebobtron]

The volume label is part of the formating information on any disk. The disk can be empty and still have a volume label. It will be found as part of the disk information.

The volume label is part of the filesystem, one of the first few bytes in fact, so you can't really navigate to it. You can raw-read the drive (eg, HANDLE fs = CreateFile("\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive1",GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, 0, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0 ); ReadFile(fs,1024); ... ) or use ASPI commands.

I haven't used it myself, but I believe GetVolumeInformation("D:\\",VolName,256,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
also works. If you weren't asking for C, then er... sorry. I'm sure some scripting languages have some form of these commands, Perl certainly does.

I could see my C teacher whoes also named steve doing that, then again he makes atlot of mistakes

but back on topic
I think this is kinda intersting
