Yes, and more. First mmpython checks if it's an audio cd. If yes, we goes checks some track infos and generate an id. If not, it reads the label and the timestamp of the disc. This is done by reading the raw device. For by Babylon 5 DVDs the label is BABYLON5_SEASON2_DISC3 and the timestamp 2003042310503400. The unique mmpython id is now timestamp+label. After that, mmpython/disc/vcdinfo and mmpython/disc/dvdinfo try to find out if it's a vcd or dvd by reading the raw device and guessing. If it is a vcd, the number and length of tracks will be read, if it's a dvd, libdvdread will be used to get more info. > Should it at some point during this process find a movie name/title > to display?

This doesn't look right - If it's FreeBSD on the DVD it is right. If not, try to find the location of the label ond timestamp in the mplayer code (grep for the hex values). > Finally: Does the list have a limit on attachments?
