[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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.]
Note
This component is available for use in the Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions.
The DVDAdm.DisableScreenSaver property turns the system screen saver on or off.
[ bDisabled = ] DVD.DVDAdm.DisableScreenSaverReturns a Boolean value indicating whether the system's screen saver settings are disabled for the DVD player application; true means the settings are disabled.
This property is read/write with a default value of true. When viewing a DVD-Video disc, a user typically does not use the mouse or keyboard for extended periods of time. The MSWebDVD ActiveX® control therefore disables the system screen saver by default. Object
