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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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

Note  This interface has been deprecated. It will continue to be supported for backward compatibility with existing applications, but new applications should use IDvdInfo2.

 

The IDvdInfo interface enables an application to query for attributes of available DVD titles and the DVD player status. It also allows for control of a DVD player beyond Annex J in the DVD specification. Use this interface to retrieve details about a DVD-Video or about the current state of the DVD player filter graph.
