VFW_E_NO_ACCEPTABLE_TYPES

VFW_E_NO_ACCEPTABLE_TYPES is a DirectShow HRESULT. Both pins can enumerate media types, but none of the upstream types is accepted by the downstream pin. This is a negotiation failure, not necessarily a corrupt file or broken decoder.

How to diagnose it

Log the complete media-type lists from both pins, including major type, subtype and format details.
Try a converter, decoder, color-space converter or resampler that supports a type acceptable to both sides.
Use QueryAccept or an explicit connection to identify which proposed type is rejected.

If IGraphBuilder::Render returns this code, inspect available intermediate filters and their registration as well as the direct pin capabilities.
