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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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. |
| IVideoFrameStep | Controls "frame stepping" if the decoder supports it. |
