Need help running a Python script when DVD inserted
We had an intern that created a custom Python script to rip our old event recording DVDs back to a digital format. The script creates a JSON description file and asks a set of questions to create the metadata in the JSON file (e.g. Date of event).
The way the intern set this up was that you'd click on the Python script which would open a terminal window where you fill in the metadata. It then asks if the DVD is in the computer. At this point you place the DVD in. A few seconds later, the Python script notices the DVD and proceeds to rip the DVD at our specific file size requirements along with the inputted metadata.
We then upgraded the Mac from Mountain Lion to Lion and the script stopped working. Our intern has since left. I have now moved the Python script onto my Mountain Lion Mac. The intern's last message to me was that he had written an AppleScript that ran when the DVD was inserted which then referred to the Python script. The intern has since stopped replying to emails.
This is a very important project that I would like to continue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
