How can I get the DVD title when all I have is a physical disc?

(Using .NET)

  1. User puts DVD in the drive.
  2. Program shows the title of the DVD movie and maybe even some links to web info

Do DVDs have a "fingerprint" like music CD which can be used in a webservice lookup or is there embedded metadata on the DVD itself?

Gracenote has a CDDB-like service for DVDs.

Here is another service that operates like CDDB for DVDs.

Microsoft has a service to look up by title, but I'm not sure if it's possible to obtain the title from metadata on the DVD itself.
