In writing a DVD script, I want to get the name of a DVD disc... Meaning the
name seen in the Finder ...and have the following script to identify a
mounted disk as a DVD:
set diskStats to {}
tell application "Finder"
set diskNames to list disks
repeat with i from 1 to count of diskNames
set y to item i of diskNames
set x to format of disk y
set x1 to capacity of disk y
set x1 to round (x1 / 1.0E+9)
set x2 to free space of disk y
set x3 to ejectable of disk y
if x is UDF format and x1 is greater than 3 and x2 is 0.0 and x3 is
true then
copy {{y}, {x, x1, x2, x3}} to end of diskStats
end if
end repeat
end tell
return diskStats
I have tested it against various DVDs. My questions are: Is this the best
way to do this? Is there ways it will fail in which I don't expect (besides
the obvious if the disk has less than 3 GB burned on it)?
Thanks.
