Remarks

General parameter registers, or GPRMs, are 16-bit registers that each disc can use in unique ways for temporary data storage. A player application does not need to access these registers for any standard playback or navigation control using the MSVidWebDVD object. This method is provided for player applications implementing advanced functionality. Do not attempt to modify the GPRMs directly unless you have a thorough knowledge of the DVD specification and the ways in which the GPRMs are used on the particular disc to be played. Changing these values can result in unpredictable behavior.

' Setting the property.
VidWebDVD.GPRM(lIndex) = sRegister
' Returning the property.
sRegister = VidWebDVD.GPRM(lIndex)
