Determining Longest Title in a DVD

I am trying to write a program that processes DVDs. I need to determine what the longest title on a DVD is for the script. Does anyone know how to do this?

I have been looking at lsdvd and it will tell me what the longest Title is, but how to I take that output and set it as a variable?
