Introduction

The DVD Detection Library (libdvdetect) is a library to lookup DVDs in a database, similar to existing services for CDs like Gracenote, freeDB or MusicBrainz. and provide information about e.g. title, UPC/EAN or even cover arts. It is OS-independent and compiles for Windows or Unix operating systems. Mac support is also planned.

What the library does not provide is DVD ripping and decryption. This is not the intent, besides cracking encyption is illegal in many countries. It merely reads the structure (e.g. titles and chapters) and generates a special checksum to look up the database.

Note

The current pre-alpha version does not provide database lookup! Please be patient and stay tuned, this will be implemented very soon!
