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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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

Remarks
This method sets the access level in the MSWebDVD object, which determines what content the user can play back. Higher levels can play lower-level content but lower levels can't play higher-level content. The exact meaning of the eight DVD parental management levels varies depending on the country/region. In the United States and Canada, the levels are mapped to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rating categories. Parental management in the DVD Navigator is disabled by default.
