DVD_TextStringType enumeration (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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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.]

Defines a subset of the DVD text-string types.

Remarks

The IDvdInfo2::GetDVDTextStringAsUnicode and IDvdInfo2::GetDVDTextStringAsNative methods return this enumeration type. The value specifies how the text string is categorized. These methods can also return identifiers that are not defined in this enumeration. For more information, see Working with DVD Text Strings.

Not every DVD text string identifier is included in this enumeration, so an authored DVD might include other values.

One important identifier that is not included in this enumeration is 0xF0, the code for sorting. You can use this string to sort the string data. It can be a unique number or a repetition of a previous string with the word order changed. For example, a DVD might have a string of 0x30 (DVD_General_Name) with the value "The Greatest Hits", which might be followed by another string of type 0xF0 with the value "Greatest Hits, The". As with content strings, however, the use of the sorting string is not strictly defined.
