Is there a way to get DVD region code from command line (linux/ubuntu 9.10)?
I want to script this action and store the region code (and other data about DVD) in a log.

EDIT: I am looking for the info about media, not the drive.

Could anyone shed some light on why -1 or what can I do to improve the question? (Isn't programming script languages in the domain of so?) – Unreason May 3 '10 at 14:15

+1 Down-voters should leave comment. – J.Hendrix May 3 '10 at 14:16
people think this belongs on superuser.com . i would concur, as this doesn't seem to involve programming, but using a program. – ax. May 3 '10 at 14:46
@ax, maybe it does belong on SU? I don't know. We might not ever know if the down-voter felt the same way. He should have taken a moment to let us know why he felt a down-vote was appropriate here. Just common courtesy, in my humble opinion. – J.Hendrix May 3 '10 at 14:51

Here is the source code of a project that claims to be able to get the code. I understand that it will not work in your environment but there seem to be some good references at the bottom of the page.
