IDvdControl2::StillOff method (strmif.h)

  • 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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 StillOff method resumes playback, canceling still mode.

Syntax

HRESULT StillOff();

Return value

Returns one of the following values.

Return code Description
S_OK
 Success.
E_UNEXPECTED
 The DVD Navigator filter is in a menu domain and the menu has buttons.
VFW_E_DVD_INVALIDDOMAIN
 Invalid domain.
VFW_E_DVD_OPERATION_INHIBITED
 UOP control prohibits the operation.

Remarks

A still is a static image presented by the disc. It is not the same as the frozen display image that appears when the user clicks the Pause button. When the DVD Navigator encounters a still image, it sends the application an EC_DVD_STILL_ON message, goes into still-store mode displaying the image, and waits for StillOff to be called before resuming playback.

If the DVD Navigator is not in still-store mode, this method does nothing.
