I once wrote a small C tool which detected C insertion for a DVD ripper
in gtk2. It used a fairly basic ioctl call to detect that the disk had
been inserted, I imagine that this can also be done in perl/python.
There is lots of documentation on how to do this in C on the net, try
searching google for ioctl CD drive detection for instance.

Then its just a matter of detecting whether or not the disk is a DVD
which can be done fairly easily with lsdvd.

Hope this helps,
  Karl
