Getting information from DVD's

ChessPlayer · Post by **ChessPlayer** » 2005-05-23 14:23:14

Cataloging from disks with avi's, mpg's is very easy, but when I'm trying to get info from the vob files in a commercial or self-made DVD I cannot. You can have strange info when you select a vob file, you don't find how many langages, bitrate, etc.
Is it a way to get info from DVD's?
Thanks for a really great program.

Somebody made a script and a small .exe file to use vStrip's DLL to get info from DVDs.
I've put it there:
https://forum.antp.be/users/nagy/GetDVDinfo.zip -- WARNING: read the topic before downloading, maybe it has a virus?
I haven't tried it yet but I may include this system in AMC in the future.

Take care!
I've downloaded the .zip file and when I unzipped it my antivirus program detected a trojan in the .exe file.

Trend's antivirus does not detect anything.
What is your antivirus? If you use Antivir, it's normal that you get this warning: it detects any basic Delphi application as a virus. And this .exe is a small Delphi application. Here is a basic empty Delphi project to check if you have the same warning:

I'm using McAffee Viruscan. It did not detect anything in your test file

Viruscan says it encountered a 'Generic Packed trojan' and deleted the exe file.
It happens only when I unpack to a folder.

For the Project1.zip file? That's a simply blank project (1 window with nothing on it) made with Delphi

No. Viruscan detected nothing in your test file.

Hmmm that's strange.
It would be nice if people with other antiviruses could give their results...

Thank you for your help. I think I will not use the program until we know more about this trojan. I don't want to infect my computer.

McAfee with update 4497 (23-05-2005) doesn't detect nothing in neither of both files (getdvdinfo & project1, zipped or extracted to folder)

Norton AV 2005 does not detect anything either.
I guess it was a false alert then.

Somebody sent me a capture by e-mail:

I do not think that it is a real virus. Seeing the name it seems that it is only because one of the file was compressed with a program like UPX or any other executable-packer.

I hope you are right, but then I have to disconnect the antivirus to work with the program

Anyway, if I integrate this into AMC I'll only use vStrip.dll which does not seem to be affected by the antivirus.

OK. Let me know when you do so.
