You probably want to call it something like "Whole Disc" or "Mirror Disc" or
something like that, as -1 is a bit counterintuitive.

The existing mtd job threads show how to get the (very limited) disc title
(it's used now to fill in a best guess for the track names).

You really want to wrap dvdcss calls with libdvdread, as it lets people
distribute all the code (except for an optional _run_ time dependency)
without fear of legal sillyness.
