  <title>Library to access video DVDs</title>

  <description>libdvdread provides a simple foundation for reading DVD-Video images.

It offers DVD applications:

​

1. A simple abstraction for reading the files on a DVD image

   (dvd_reader.h).

2. A simple library for parsing the information (IFO) files

   (ifo_read.h/ifo_types.h).

3. A simple library for parsing the navigation (NAV) packets

   (nav_read.h/nav_types.h).

​

This allows application designers to access some of the more advanced

features of the DVD format.

​

libdvdread currently uses libdl to dynamically probe for libdvdcss at

runtime.  If libdvdcss is found, then it will be used to decrypt the

encrypted sections of a DVD.
