Getting disc name via makemkvcon and other questions for automation

Post by Hellmark »

Trying to get things setup to automate my work flow a bit more. Basically the plan is to have a script with common functions, and then setup udev and other things kick off the script when I pop in a disc, etc.

Right now my normal work flow is to use makemkvcon to make a decrypted backup, and then encode after that. If I am able to get the name of an inserted disc, it makes things a lot easier to automate certain things (like the name of the final file).

What method would y'all recommend also for determining which title to encode also? That part I am still having to be very hands on with.

Also, one thing I was thinking about is stuff the backup into a iso, just so I can deal with tossing a single file between systems instead of moving the directory structure of the backups. Anyone know, what tools I would need to do that? Been a while since I've made ISOs, and it was mostly just CDs so I know a lot doesn't apply to blurays.
