hELLO all,

I've been wracking my brain over this for some time and I can't seem to find a nice solution for it. Basically I've been using direct show to create a DVD player but I can't figure out how to get the following data during playback:

current VTS, Title, PGC, Program, Cell

Are there any other programs that you no of or api's that are capable of pulling out this information.

Thanks for your help, know this a toughy

Welcome to the forum, beaven78!

As far as I know, it's impossible, except probably for the Chapter and Title numbers. (I mean the absolute Title number, not the TTN in a specific titleset.) Several authors have tried to display this information during the playback (notably Derrow for IfoEdit) but without success. IMO, to do that, you have to write your own navigator filter. Not easy!

Sorry for the bad news!
