DVDSpy help?

[mflaster]

Can anyone explain what the different events are from DVDSpy? In particular, there's a WinDVD.0, .1, .2, .3, and .4. From tracing them during the playback of a .vob, I *still* have no idea what they signify. Is there any data specified with these events?

Does anyone have an example of something that uses DVDSpy?

Thanks!

Mike

I'm not sure I completely understand the hook code used in this plugin but I *think* the WinDVD events are: Chapter, Time, Video mode, "Not sure" and Audio mode.

I could be completely wrong in which case you are right where you started. :wink:

Technically, the WinDVD events are the contents of each of the five status bar panels at the bottom right of the video window. It's a bit opaque because it's organized around what information is displayed by WinDVD and how exactly it is displayed. A fact of life when spying instead of using a real API. They should indeed be Chapter, Time, Video, ?, and Audio. When playing a VOB file, typical values would be Chapter: 01, Time: 00:01:10, MPEG, , and BOTH.

The data that goes along with them is in text register 1. So, tracing with the ordinary Logger plug-in, you won't see anything that looks interesting.

There is a sample DVD2LCD.GIR file in the LCD plug-in's .ZIP file.
