Shortcuts to C++ DVD Reference Pages

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 following interfaces are those typically used when writing a DVD application in C++.

Interface Purpose
IAMLine21Decoder Controls closed captioning display.
IDvdCmd Used in advanced command synchronization techniques to control a command object.
IDvdControl2 Issues commands to the DVD Navigator filter (the "set" methods).
IDvdGraphBuilder Creates the DVD filter graph.
IDvdInfo2 Queries the DVD Navigator for state information and information on the disc (the "get" methods).
IDvdState Saves information, such as bookmarks, to disc.
