IDvdControl2::PlayForwards method (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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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.]
The PlayForwards method plays forward at the specified speed from the current location.
Syntax
HRESULT PlayForwards(
[in] double dSpeed,
[in] DWORD dwFlags,
[out] IDvdCmd **ppCmd
);
Parameters
[in] dSpeed
Value that specifies the playback speed. This value is a multiplier, where 1.0 is the authored speed, so a value of 2.5 plays at two and one-half times the authored speed, while a value of 0.5 plays at half the authored speed. The actual speed of playback depends on the capabilities of the video decoder. Values below 0.00001 are converted to 0.00001.
[in] dwFlags
Bitwise OR of one or more flags from the DVD_CMD_FLAGS enumeration, specifying how to synchronize the command.
[out] ppCmd
Receives a pointer to an IDvdCmd object that can be used to synchronize DVD commands. The caller must release the interface. This parameter can be NULL. For more information, see Synchronizing DVD Commands.
