IDvdInfo2::GetCurrentDomain 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 GetCurrentDomain method retrieves the domain in which the DVD Navigator is currently located.

Syntax

HRESULT GetCurrentDomain(
  [out] DVD_DOMAIN *pDomain
);

Parameters

[out] pDomain

Pointer to a variable of type DVD_DOMAIN that receives the current domain.

Return value

Returns one of the following HRESULT values.

Return code Description
S_OK
Success.
E_UNEXPECTED
Unexpected error.
E_POINTER
Invalid argument.

Remarks

You can use this method to test whether the DVD Navigator is finished playing in a particular title domain. An application doesn't have to test for the current domain before calling an IDvdControl2 method such as PlayTitle, PlayForwards, and so on. The DVD Navigator tests for the domain and simply does nothing, returning VFW_E_DVD_INVALIDDOMAIN, if the current command is invalid for the domain.
