DVD Decoder Development in DirectShow

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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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

This section contains pointers to the reference pages for all the DirectShow property sets and interfaces that are either DVD-specific or else used extensively in DVD decoding. In addition to what is listed here, a decoder and its pins must also support the generic DirectShow filter interfaces as described in Writing DirectShow Filters.

This section contains the following topics.

• Decoder Volume Control
• DVD Region Change Support in Windows
