VFW_E_DVD_NO_RESUME_INFORMATION
Meaning
Windows documents VFW_E_DVD_NO_RESUME_INFORMATION as “There is currently no resume information”. Here, the application requests Resume when the DVD Navigator has no saved resume point for the current playback session.
Evidence worth preserving
- Evidence 1: stop reason and navigator lifetime.
- Evidence 2: last title, chapter and playback location.
- Evidence 3: whether a bookmark was saved separately.
Relevant contract
Code-specific boundary: VFW_E_DVD_NO_RESUME_INFORMATION narrows the investigation to whether the navigator has a valid resume point for the current disc and playback session. Preserve the DVD domain, title/menu location and graph topology from the same attempt so a later navigation error is not mistaken for the original condition.
Start with the DVD Navigator, graph builder, decoder inventory and renderer topology.
Conditions that can produce it
- Cause 1: playback has not left a resumable location.
- Cause 2: Stop or Reset cleared resume information.
- Cause 3: the graph was rebuilt and the prior navigator instance was discarded.
Correction strategy
- Action 1: enable Resume only after a resumable stop.
- Action 2: store an explicit IDvdState bookmark when persistence across graph rebuilds is required.
- Action 3: fall back to a defined start location.
Example incident
A player exposes Resume on first launch before any title has played; state-aware UI prevents it.
Retry and recovery
Retry rule: Retry after a resume point is created; otherwise choose normal playback or restore a valid bookmark.
How it differs from nearby results
VFW_E_DVD_STATE_CORRUPT means saved state exists but is damaged, while it means no resume state exists.
