Tell How Many Titles and Chapters a DVD Has
Posted: 09 Feb 2008 19:32
Hi there,
since I didn't find something in the documentation I'm wondering whether there's any (explicit or implicit) way to make VLC tell me how many titles a DVD has, and how many chapters there are in a given title.
When I'm using the GUI to access a DVD it seems that VLC falls back to title 1 chapter 1 when an illegal title and chapter is chosen by the user, but that doesn't necessarily mean that VLC doesn't know better.
It would be okay for me to be able to tell the existance of a title and chapter combination by issueing some VLC command line command (which should really not generate any output or consume decoding time) and looking at the return value or so but that should really be a NOP for VLC more or less..
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks a lot.
