Trying to find a movie given the DVD ISO name.

Hi,

How are DVD names like "OCE-0N-NW1.1_DES" mapped to movie names.

I've bought a DVD, ripped it to my HD, and I play it via Boxee and XBMC. Magically, XBMC and Boxee are able to know that the name of this ISO "OCE-0N-NW1.1_DE" is Disney Oceans.

I'm curious to know how this works and how I can use the API in my own program to do a similar lookup?

Thanks! John
