About the DVD Object
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The DVD object adds functionality specific to DVD media. In a general sense, DVD media is treated just like other digital media in Windows Media Player. For instance, DVD drives are enumerated using the CdromCollection object and DVD titles and chapters are manipulated using Playlist objects and Media objects. Some functionality is DVD-specific, however, and the DVD object provides this. For example, DVD has a concept called domain. To retrieve the current domain for DVD media, type the following:
mydomain = player.dvd.domain;
