MSWebDVD
-
I am writting a car PC project and have got to the last bit now, the DVD player. I started using WMP, but it has limited functionality, and I was told to try DirectShow which I didn't understand. SO MSWebDVD was my option, as it seems really easy, apart from one problem I have. How do you tell MSWebDVD what drive you want to use, it only uses one of my drives. I also want to play movies from my hard disk, but using the code: MSWebDVD.dvdidrectory = "c:\dvd\video_ts" only works if there is a DVD in the DVD drive, why is this? Surely you don't have to have a disk in the DVD drive to enable MSWebDVD to play a DVD folder on the hard disk. Thanks for any sugestions Craig

As far as I can tell, it will only work with DVD volumes, not non-DVD drives. That property sets the current video root of a DVD volume, which can have multiple roots in various directories on the disk.

2006, 2007But why do you have to have a disk in one of the drives, and with 2 DVD drives, which one is the one that it uses? DirectShow can be used to play DVDs, can anyone post a small code snippet to get me started, as I don't understand all the filter graph stuff that I was reading on the Microsoft site. Thanks again
