IDvdControl2::SelectDefaultMenuLanguage method (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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 SelectDefaultMenuLanguage method sets the default language for all menus and menu buttons.
Syntax

LCID Language

Remarks
This method selects the default text language to use for menus when the disc is played. For example, if Language is specified as 0x409 for U.S. English, the DVD Navigator tries to show U.S. English text in menus. If the default menu language is not found on a disc, the DVD Navigator selects the closest match.
