MF_E_NOTACCEPTING

MF_E_NOTACCEPTING commonly means that an MFT is holding input or has output ready to be collected. It is flow control, not a permanent failure of the decoder or encoder.

Drain available output first

After a successful ProcessInput, call ProcessOutput until it reports MF_E_TRANSFORM_NEED_MORE_INPUT.
Do not keep queueing samples after the transform has stopped accepting input.
During an explicit drain, do not submit new input until the transform reports that it needs more input again.

Log input and output calls in order. This usually exposes an application that feeds an MFT faster than it retrieves output.
