IDvdControl2 interface (strmif.h)
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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.]
The IDvdControl2 interface navigates and plays DVD-Video titles. The DirectShow DVD Navigator source filter implements this interface. After creating a DVD filter graph through the IDvdGraphBuilder interface, a DVD player application uses the methods of the IDvdControl2 and IDvdInfo2 interfaces to send DVD commands to and retrieve state information from the DVD Navigator.
IDvdControl2 provides the full functionality required by the DVD Annex J specification, as well as methods for playback, menu navigation, and parental control. For more information on writing a DVD player application using the DVD Navigator, including topics on the DVD filter graph, command synchronization, parental controls, menus, and karaoke support, see DVD Applications.
