Remarks

DVD timecode is binary coded decimal (BCD) encoded in the format 0xHhMmSsFf, where:

H is tens of hours
h is hours
M is tens of minutes
m is minutes
S is tens of seconds
s is seconds
F is tens of frames
f is frames

To use a BCD, first create the BCD.
ULONG timeCode = 0;	// create the BCD
//create a pointer to a DVD_TIMECODE structure at the address of the BCD
DVD_TIMECODE * dvdTimeCode = ( DVD_TIMECODE * ) &timeCode;	
Then, dvdTimeCode can be used as a DVD_TIMECODE structure.
dvdTimeCode->Hours10 = 0;
dvdTimeCode->Hours1 = 2;
Finally, timeCode is passed to the IDVDControl::TimeSearch method.
TimeSearch ( timeCode );
