Compute unique ID for a video DVD

I'm trying to find a way to generate a unique ID for specific versions of a video DVD.

For example, if you have 2 identical copies of The Matrix DVD, inserting either DVD should output the exact same ID because they both represent the same content, release, country of origin, etc.

This forum post mentions using libdvdread's DVDDiscID() method, which appears to do what I want. However, I can't find a CLI or binaries to use. It appears that the VideoLan project has taken ownership of libdvdread, is it possible to use the VLC binaries/cli to call libdvdread.DVDDiscID()?

Is there a command-line utility already out there that can generate some type of unique ID for a video DVD? If not, how can I use libdvdread (or some other similar free library) in a NodeJS, PHP, C#, Python or C++ application on a Windows computer to get this information?

This looks like what you want https://github.com/beandog/dvd_info, it depends on libdvdread. Or just compile libdvdread and call it from your app.
