IDiscFormat2Data::get_CurrentRotationTypeIsPureCAV method (imapi2.h)

Retrieves the current rotational-speed control used by the recorder.

Syntax

HRESULT get_CurrentRotationTypeIsPureCAV(
  [out] VARIANT_BOOL *value
);

Parameters

[out] value

Is VARIANT_TRUE if constant angular velocity (CAV) rotational-speed control is in use. Otherwise, VARIANT_FALSE to indicate that another rotational-speed control that the recorder supports is in use.

Return value

S_OK is returned on success, but other success codes may be returned as a result of implementation. The following error codes are commonly returned on operation failure, but do not represent the only possible error values:

Return code Description
E_IMAPI_RECORDER_REQUIRED
The request requires a current disc recorder to be selected.

Value: 0xC0AA0003

E_INVALIDARG
One or more arguments are not valid.

Value: 0x80070057

E_POINTER
Pointer is not valid.

Value: 0x80004003

E_FAIL
Unspecified failure.

Value: 0x80004005

E_OUTOFMEMORY
Failed to allocate the required memory.

Value: 0x8007000E

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_COMMAND_TIMEOUT
The device failed to accept the command within the timeout period. This may be caused by the device having entered an inconsistent state, or the timeout value for the command may need to be increased.

Value: 0xC0AA020D

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_INVALID_RESPONSE_FROM_DEVICE
The device reported unexpected or invalid data for a command.

Value: 0xC0AA02FF

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_UPSIDE_DOWN
The media is inserted upside down.

Value: 0xC0AA0204

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_BECOMING_READY
The drive reported that it is in the process of becoming ready. Please try the request again later.

Value: 0xC0AA0205

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_NO_MEDIA
There is no media in the device.

Value: 0xC0AA0202

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_FORMAT_IN_PROGRESS
The media is currently being formatted. Please wait for the format to complete before attempting to use the media.

Value: 0xC0AA0206

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_BUSY
The drive reported that it is performing a long-running operation, such as finishing a write. The drive may be unusable for a long period of time.

Value: 0xC0AA0207

E_IMAPI_LOSS_OF_STREAMING
The write failed because the drive did not receive data quickly enough to continue writing. Moving the source data to the local computer, reducing the write speed, or enabling a "buffer underrun free" setting may resolve this issue.

Value: 0xC0AA0300

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_INCOMPATIBLE
The media is not compatible or of unknown physical format.

Value: 0xC0AA0203

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_DVD_STRUCTURE_NOT_PRESENT
The DVD structure is not present. This may be caused by incompatible drive/medium used.

Value: 0xC0AA020E

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_NO_SUCH_MODE_PAGE
The device reported that the requested mode page (and type) is not present.

Value: 0xC0AA0201

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_INVALID_MODE_PARAMETERS
The drive reported that the combination of parameters provided in the mode page for a MODE SELECT command were not supported.

Value: 0xC0AA0208

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED
The drive reported that the media is write protected.

Value: 0xC0AA0209

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_SPEED_MISMATCH
The media's speed is incompatible with the device. This may be caused by using higher or lower speed media than the range of speeds supported by the device.

Value: 0xC0AA020F

HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE)
The specified handle is invalid.

Value: 6

HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_DEV_NOT_EXIST)
The specified network resource or device is no longer available.

Value: 55

E_IMAPI_RECORDER_LOCKED
The device associated with this recorder during the last operation has been exclusively locked, causing this operation to failed.

Value: 0xC0AA0210

Remarks

To retrieve the requested rotational-speed control, call the IDiscFormat2Data::get_RequestedRotationTypeIsPureCAV method.

Rotational-speed control types include the following:

  • CLV (Constant Linear Velocity). The disc is written at a constant speed. Standard rotational control.
  • CAV (Constant Angular Velocity). The disc is written at a constantly increasing speed.
  • ZCAV (Zone Constant Linear Velocity). The disc is divided into zones. After each zone, the write speed increases. This is an impure form of CAV.
  • PCAV (Partial Constant Angular Velocity). The disc speed increases up to a specified velocity. Once reached, the disc spins at the specified velocity for the duration of the disc writing.

Requirements

Requirement Value
Minimum supported client Windows Vista, Windows XP with SP2 [desktop apps only]
Minimum supported server Windows Server 2003 [desktop apps only]
Target Platform Windows
