Compute unique ID for a video DVD

I'm trying to find a way to generate a unique ID for specific versions of a video DVD.
For example, if you have 2 identical copies of The Matrix DVD, inserting either DVD should output the exact same ID because they both represent the same content, release, country of origin, etc.
This forum post mentions using libdvdread's DVDDiscID() method, which appears to do what I want. However, I can't find a CLI or binaries to use. It appears that the VideoLan project has taken ownership of libdvdread, is it possible to use the VLC binaries/cli to call libdvdread.DVDDiscID()?
Is there a command-line utility already out there that can generate some type of unique ID for a video DVD? If not, how can I use libdvdread (or some other similar free library) in a NodeJS, PHP, C#, Python or C++ application on a Windows computer to get this information?
This looks like what you want https://github.com/beandog/dvd_info, it depends on libdvdread. Or just compile libdvdread and call it from your app.

iOS:How to check if an directory already exists on the FTP server while uploading?

I am working on an App, in which I want to upload images and pdf to the FTP server. I am using this reference ref.All is working good. The images and pdf are getting uploaded on the server with proper names and sizes.
But, now I want to check if the directory is already exists on the server or not. I am not able to get it to work with this library.
So my question is that how to check directory on ftp,if directory is there then upload the files if not then first create directory on ftp and then upload files onto that directory?
Any Ideas.. ? Any help will be appreciated.
Different FTP servers will answer the LIST request in differing ways, so there is no single answer to this question. RFC959 says on the matter:
Since the information on a file may vary widely from system
to system, this information may be hard to use automatically
in a program, but may be quite useful to a human user.
Using the CWD request to change into the directory in question, and detecting a successful response will detect the directory, however that leaves you in that directory as a potentially unrequired side effect.
For these reasons, as well as others, you may find more modern protocols such as SSH (which includes a file transfer feature) to be more useful. You may find the DLSFTPClient CocoaPod useful.

Is there a corresponding way to extract certification info from .exe file in RING0

As we know, in RING3, we could use CryptQueryObject. In driver, is there a way to get the certification information?
I tried to find it from the export symbols of ntosknel.exe, but I didn't make it.
This is not so trivial )
There two types of signed images: with embedded signature and catalog signed. For first category you must do follow:
1) Extract signature and some info from PE image. Format is documented here http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winlogo/drvsign/Authenticode_PE.mspx
Basically you need to extract IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_SECURITY directory and retrive, needed for kernel crypto api, information.
2) Verify signature with kernel mode crypto api (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winlogo/drvsign/Authenticode_PE.mspx), basically BCryptVerifySignature function
This api avaiable from Vista. For XP there are FIPS driver as i remember.
I don't know any ways to check catalog signed executables from KM, because we need to find signature somewhere in catalog and i don`t know how.
From another point of view this capability are not supported by MS and thats way we need to transfer this feature to user mode helper application with some caching of information in kernel mode for perfomance. Driver will ask helper application to check signature of pe image (by help of inverted call for example) if not found this info in cache.

(Rails) Uploading Directories

I need to upload multiple files on my website.
But I need not just a form for uploading multiple files, I need to upload whole directories.
How's this possible for the minimalist?
Yours, Joern.
According to my somewhat limited knowledge this is not possible, only file transfer is possible, not directories.
Here are some workarounds, based on discussion on Velocity Reviews and another discussion:
upload a zip, which you unzip at the server side
upload directories over ftp (web page can be a front end to this)
upload files one by one
I would go either for zip or ftp. Note: someone might have produced a gem that enables uploading directories (I know nothing of such thing, but I will be happy to find out, if there is).
Adding another option to the list provided by Sorrow:
upload via REST/JSON
OK, this is a partial solution, but it does give you the opportunity to write a script that reads your directory and POSTS to your website.

How can I access the copy buffer on the web?

Wild question here.
Is it possible to access the copy buffer on the web. What I mean is. Can I go into Photoshop. Select a piece of a photo. Copy that piece and paste it into some element.
That something would be like a Java applet or Flash or Silverlight or anything. I am just wondering if it is possible and if someone could point me in a direction. Since a few google searches have only found where you can copy files and paste via a Java applet.
You should perhaps look into this article about granting Javascript access to the clipboard. Do some testing afterward, to check if you can access the data or not.
