An ISO file has been burned into a blank DVD (in a Linux OS). Is there any commands in Ubuntu to check when the DVD was burned?

I mean the date that the ISO file was burned, I do not mean the date ISO itself was created.

    I don't think a DVD contains that information. The structure of a DVD, outside the contents of the data track, is basically just the table of contents (which says where the data track starts and ends) and error-correction data. And the data track is just the contents of the ISO file.

ISO 9660 ?

Try dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1 skip=33581 count=17 | hexdump -C

Example output:

00000000  32 30 31 32 30 38 32 33  31 37 31 33 34 37 30 30  |2012082317134700|
00000010  00                                                |.|

  • Is that going to be the burn date? Or the date that the ISO filesystem was created?

  • It's defined as "The standard specifies the field Volume Creation Date and Time as a numerical representation of the moment of the volume's creation, written to the 814th through 830th byte of the Primary Volume Descriptor".

  • It seems it just reveals the date the ISO was created. Commented Aug 8, 2015 at 18:47
