    HI all,
    I was wondering if there's a way to get a list of all chapters within a dvd...
    I'm aware that there's a method that returns how many chapters there are but it doesn't give any other info.
    Thanks

      Thanks for the help guys.
      Kind of dissapointing the DS does not support this.
      I'll probably end up using some command line tool for this, I know there are a couple out there.

      What do you mean by "any other info" ?
      With IDvdInfo2.GetDVDVolumeInfo you can determine how many titles there are and with IDvdInfo2::GetNumberOfChapters you can determine how many chapters each tittles have.

      If you mean retrieving the name of each chapters as they are named on the DVD cover, you can't do that with DirectShow (i know, that can do that but Microsoft have an online database for this purpose)...

        Oups, forgot "WMP" in (i know, that WMP can do that but Microsoft have an online database for this purpose)

          There is a page that talks about it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd390995%28VS.85%29.aspx

          Note the part that says: These strings are optional, and many discs do not have them.
