Multimedia Control Interface




The MCI interface is a high-level API developed by Microsoft and IBM for controlling multimedia devices, such as CD-ROM players and audio controllers.

The advantage is that MCI commands can be transmited both from the progamming language and from the scripting language (open script, lingo aso).For example mciSendCommand or mciSendString.
For a number of years, the MCI interface has been phased out in favor of the DirectX APIs.
