object

      Object associated with this media control interface command. The object can be one of the following:

      • Device type
      • Device name
      • Filename
      • Alias
      FROM pos
        Specifies the position at which to start recording. If FROM is omitted, the device starts recording at the current position; if TO is omitted, the device records to the end position.
      TO pos
        Specifies the position at which to stop recording. If FROM is omitted, the device starts recording at the current position; if TO is omitted, the device records to the end position.
      INSERT
        Data is to be added to the device element. This is the default on devices that support insertion of data (file-oriented devices). Returns MCI_UNSUPPORTED_FLAG on devices that do not support INSERT.
      OVERWRITE
        Recorded data replaces existing data in the device element. This is the default on devices that do not support insertion of data (for example, videotape).
      WAIT
        The command is executed synchronously. The function waits until the requested action is complete before returning to the application.
      NOTIFY
        The command is executed asynchronously, allowing control to be returned immediately to the application. When the requested action is complete, an MM_MCINOTIFY message is sent to the application window procedure.
