Description:

This DVD's resolution exceeds the maximum allowed by your component video outputs. Try reducing your screen resolution to 640 x 480, or turn off analog component outputs and use a VGA connection to your monitor.%0

Where this result occurs in the Player workflow

NS_E_DVD_DISC_COPY_PROTECT_OUTPUT_FAILED (0xC00D1161) marks enforcing the disc’s analog/component-output resolution restriction. Keep this HRESULT attached to the producing operation even when the Player shows a broader message.

Mechanism

Successful reading of files from the DVD volume does not prove that the navigation program, decoder graph or protected output path can be used. A representative way to reach this result is that component output is active above the resolution permitted by the DVD policy.

State snapshot

Evidence	Why it matters for disc copy protect output failed
Producing object and operation	disc path and media generation, DVD domain, title/chapter, region values for disc/drive/decoder, selected audio/video/subpicture streams, decoder CLSIDs, renderer and display mode, protection negotiation result and first DirectShow HRESULT
Key observation	output connector type, requested resolution, protection flags and display mode
Controlled comparison	Repeat the producing call after changing only this condition: select an allowed connector or resolution without bypassing the disc policy.

Controlled diagnostic sequence

Capture 0xC00D1161, the exact Player/API operation and the first timestamp at which it appears.
Save output connector type, requested resolution, protection flags and display mode; do this before ejecting media, reconnecting a device, canceling a job or rebuilding the Player object.
Correlate the result with disc path and media generation, DVD domain, title/chapter, region values for disc/drive/decoder, selected audio/video/subpicture streams, decoder CLSIDs, renderer and display mode, protection negotiation result and first DirectShow HRESULT.
Reproduce once with the original source and destination, then apply only this change: select an allowed connector or resolution without bypassing the disc policy.

`NS_E_DVD_COPY_PROTECT`	completing DVD drive, navigator, decoder and renderer protection negotiation

Focused correction

For this occurrence, select an allowed connector or resolution without bypassing the disc policy. Recreate only the object that produced it and repeat the original operation against the same controlled input.

During verification, do not bypass region or copy-protection checks; diagnose the supported playback path by preserving the exact disc, drive, decoder and display connection involved.

Discriminating evidence: Preserve the copy-protection negotiation result for the active video output, including renderer and connection state. This code identifies failure to establish the required protected output path; it is not the same as a policy that forbids copying the disc itself.
