mark
The mark command controls recording and erasing of marks on the videotape. VCR devices recognize this command.
To send this command, call the mciSendString function with the lpszCommand parameter set as follows.
_stprintf_s(
lpszCommand,
TEXT("mark %s %s %s"),
lpszDeviceID,
lpszMark,
lpszFlags
);
Parameters
lpszDeviceID
Identifier of an MCI device. This identifier or alias is assigned when the device is opened.

| Value | Meaning |
| erase | Erases a mark at the current position, if one exists. To erase a mark, first seek to the mark and then issue the mark "erase" command. |
| write | Writes a mark at the current position. The VCR might need to be in play or record mode for this command to succeed. |
lpszFlags
Can be "wait", "notify", or "test". For more information about these flags, see The Wait, Notify, and Test Flags.
