DVD Navigator Filter

  • Article

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 DVD Navigator filter is the source filter for a DVD-Video playback filter graph. It opens all necessary files in a DVD-Video volume, navigates through the linear DVD-Video .vob files, and parses the resulting MPEG-2 program stream, splitting the stream into three (video, audio, subpicture) output pins.

The DVD Navigator filter also implements the IDvdControl2 and IDvdInfo2 interfaces that enable a DVD playback application to control DVD-Video playback.
