monitor
The monitor command specifies the presentation source. (The default presentation source
is the workspace.) Switching the presentation source switches all audio and
video streams in the source. Digital-video devices recognize this command.
wsprintf(lpstrCommand, "monitor %s %s %s", lpszDeviceID, lpszMonitor,
lpszFlags);
Parameters
lpszDeviceID
Identifier of an MCI device. This identifier or alias is assigned when the
device is opened.
lpszMonitor
One or more of the following flags:
file
| Specifies that the workspace is the presentation source. This is the default
source.
| input
| Specifies that the external input is the presentation source. If a play command is in progress, it is first paused. If setvideo is "on", this flag displays a default hidden window. Devices might limit what
other device instances can do while monitoring input.
| method method
| When used with monitor "input", this flag selects the method of monitoring. The method is either "pre", "post", or "direct". Direct monitoring requests that the
device be configured for optimum display quality during monitoring. The direct
monitoring method might be incompatible with motion video recording.
Pre- and post-monitoring allow motion video recording. Pre-monitoring shows
the external input prior to compression, while post-monitoring shows the external
input after compression. Typically, different monitoring methods have
different hardware implications. The default monitoring method is selected by the
device.

lpszFlags
Can be "wait", "notify", "test", or a combination of these. For more
information about these flags, see The Wait, Notify, and Test Flags.
Return Values
Returns zero if successful or an error otherwise.
Remarks
The presentation source automatically switches to the workspace after a play, step, pause, cue "output", or seek command. The record command does not automatically switch presentation sources, which gives your
application the option of not showing video while it is being recorded.
