Does anyone know of a class/component FreeWare/ShareWare/BuyWare that can investigate a DVD structure (and – if possible – a BluRay structure) and return information about what is on the DVD with regards to number of titles, and title information for each title?
It must return the following information for each title:
Video Encoding (MPEG-1/MPEG-2), Video Resolution (352×240, 352×288, 480×480, 480×576, 544×480, 544×576, 704×480, 704×576, 720×480, 720×576), Anamorphic?, Duration in Seconds/milliseconds, FrameRate (23.976, 24.000, 25.000, 29.997, 30.000), Subtitle Tracks and Audio Tracks.
For each Audio Track in each individual title, the following information is needed:
Audio Format (DTS, Dolby Digital, LPCM, MPEG), Channel Count (Main Channels + Subwoofer, must be able to handle f.ex. Dolby Digital 3.1 or 4.0), Language
For each subtitle track in each individual title, the Language of the track is needed.
All this information can be obtained from the VIDEO_TS/VTS_xx_y IFO files, but I haven’t been able to figure out the exact code needed that can handle all my DVDs.
I have a skeleton class located at http://www.heartware.dk/DVD.PAS that would satisfy me needs.
Did you try Torry.net? http://www.torry.net/pages.php?id=168
Seems “VisioForge Video Info” can do what you want, but it’s commercial (it’s cheap anyway) so ask it’s author first.
May be other options at that directory can do what you need too.
