WINCODEC_ERR_TOOMUCHMETADATA

WINCODEC_ERR_TOOMUCHMETADATA means that WIC cannot write the requested metadata into the target bitmap or container. The target format may have a size limit, lack enough reserved metadata space for a fast update, or reject a combination of metadata blocks.

What to check

Measure the metadata being copied or added instead of assuming that a source file's metadata always fits a destination format.
When using fast metadata encoding, remember that it updates a padded region without fully re-encoding the image; insufficient space requires a different strategy.
Remove nonessential metadata or re-encode the image when preserving all blocks is not required.

Do not silently drop legal or compliance metadata without making that policy explicit.
