dvdnav_get_title_string() will give you the string encoded on the
disc. There are calls in libdvdread that get you this information, I
think DVDUDFVolumeInfo().

You might find if you look around the archive for this list that Roger
Pack might have already noticed that the dvdnav vm struct is not to be
trusted with the title information.

Good luck!
