Starting the Rip Process

  • Article

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

After you have retrieved the ripping interface as explained in the previous section, start the ripping process by calling IWMPCdromRip::startRip.

// Start ripping.
HRESULT hr = m_spCdromRip->startRip();

You can stop the ripping operation by calling IWMPCdromRip::stopRip.

// Stop ripping.
HRESULT hr = m_spCdromRip->stopRip();
