My previsou answer was too quick indeed.

Try this one:
The information you are looking for is contained in the IFO files of the dvd.
You can peek around to find what you need using the information
described here: http://dvd.sourceforge.net/dvdinfo/ifo.html

or

use ifo_dump together with grep/sed/awk.

    ifo_dump <dvd path> 0 (look at: Title Track search pointer table)
and for each VTS_n_0.IFO
    ifo_dump <dvd path> n (look at: Cell Address table)

With some simple math you can retrive the size of each title.
