If the DVD has an ISO 9660 file systems (which it can have, but often doesn't) then I think somewhat. More often DVD's use the UDF file system and that is in the "somewhat" category. Much work should be done here to improve UDF, but right now no one has been up to the task. 2) Is there a way that I can achieve the same functionality using libcdio > only, or should I use libdvdread or some other library ? > libdvdread seems to be the library that is most used for DVDs that are Movies. The last time I checked or had contact with the author, I believe he said that it was intended for media players which play DVD movies and so the API is geared towards that and not say for other kinds of DVDs such as DVD's to store data. > 3) I also tried using udf (examples/udffile.c, which came bundled with > libcdio), as DVDs have UDF filesystem.

I checked the code and when I specified a DVD drive, udffile.c did read from it I'm in Japan right now and not in a situation where I can easily burn a data DVD with a UDF filesystem. If however what you are trying to read is a movie DVD, data is encrypted and libcdio won't help here, while libdvdread probably will.
