Remarks

This method sets the access level in the MSVidWebDVD object, which determines what content the user can play back. Higher levels can play lower-level content but lower levels can't play higher-level content. The exact meaning of the eight DVD parental management levels varies depending on the country/region. In the United States and Canada, the levels are mapped to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rating categories. Parental management is disabled by default. 

Note   Player parental levels can only be set in the Stop domain.
