Remarks

A DVD_TextStringType is returned in the DVDTextStringType method to identify how the disc authors have categorized the specified text string. See Working with DVD Text Strings for general information on text strings.

One important text string type not defined in this enumeration is 0xF0, the extension sorting text string type. You can use this type of string in many ways to enable players to sort the string data. It can be a unique number or a repetition of a previous string with the word order changed. For example, a string type of 0x30 that has the name "The Greatest Hits" might be followed by a string of type 0xF0 that says "Greatest Hits, The." As with content strings, the use of the sorting string is not strictly defined.
