IDvdControl2::Pause method (strmif.h)

  • Article

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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  This method is deprecated. Applications should call IMediaControl::Pause instead. For more information, see Data Flow in the DVD Navigator.
 
The Pause method pauses or resumes playback at the current location.

Syntax

HRESULT Pause(
  [in] BOOL bState
);

Remarks

Putting the DVD Navigator into a paused state freezes playback and any internal timers, similar to IMediaControl::Pause. If the filter graph is not running, this method does nothing.
