[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

Note The IDvdControl interface is deprecated. Use IDvdControl2 instread.

Searches forward through the current disc at the specified speed.

Syntax

HRESULT ForwardScan(

Note that the actual speed of playback depends on the capabilities of the video decoder, and might differ from the specified rate.

Returns an HRESULT value.

Remarks

This method returns an error unless the domain is DVD_DOMAIN_VideoManagerMenu, DVD_DOMAIN_VideoTitleSetMenu, or DVD_DOMAIN_Title. For more information, see DVD_DOMAIN.
