Hi Dan, unfortunately I'm not too much involved in eject code, and
volname is not a tool that I use currently... I don't know if I can help
so much

Title:
  volname does not work for dvd's / udf images

Status in “eject” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: eject

  The package 'eject' includes the handy utility 'volname'.
  eject works with both cd-roms and dvds, but volname doesn't.
  Let's fix that.  I had a quick look at what it would take.

  First, udf seems complex, so rather than extend the simple
  hardcoded iso parser in volname.c, it might make sense to
  use libdvdread's handy UDFGetVolumeIdentifier() function,
  and fall back to the existing iso parser if that fails (e.g. if the disc
  is not udf format).

  Second, volname currently right-justifies the volume name,
  which probably works nicely with isos because their names
  are space-padded, but looks funny with dvds, because 
  UDFGetVolumeIdentifier does not space-pad.  Might want
  to left-justify the output of volname, or remove the padding.

  Third, libdvdread suffers from a bug
  ( http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1451 )
  which keeps it from reading the volume name properly.
  This is fixed upstream, but they haven't don't a release
  yet, so we'd want to include a patch.

  Fourth, libdvd's DVDOpen() function prints an annoying
  warning about encrypted dvds not being supported, even
  when you're just getting a volume name.  That probably should
  be suppressed or printed later, so it's not seen when just
  retrieving the volume name.

  I'll attach my quickie patches to the eject and libdvdread packages
  showing what I have so far.  Ideally, someone will reply
  and say "Oh, we already fixed all that" :-)
