VLC enumerate DVD tracks and titles from the command line?

Hi all. I am trying to search for a semi-automated way to discover the "main" title on a DVD. It seems the normal suggestion [1] is to look over the various titles, and choose the longest or the one with most chapters.
I know VLC's Qt interface enumerates the titles etc. Is it possible to get these from the command line at all?

Thanks!

No. You should code directly against libdvdnav if you want to do that.

Would libvlc help at all, anybody know?

You can use LibVLC to enumerate tracks too. But I am not sure you will get all the informations you want.

another option is to use handbrakecli or mplayer -identify:
