MF_E_TRANSFORM_PROPERTY_VALUE_INCOMPATIBLE

MF_E_TRANSFORM_PROPERTY_VALUE_INCOMPATIBLE is not a simple numeric range failure. The value conflicts with another property or with a media type already set on the transform.

Log the complete active configuration at the failing write

Record the property GUID and proposed value, then capture other codec properties that control the same feature area.
Dump the current input and output media types, including subtype, frame size, sample rate, channel count, and codec-specific attributes that apply.
When available, use SetValueWithNotify or capability queries to observe related settings rather than applying an unordered list of independent values.

A value can be valid in isolation and still be impossible for the selected resolution, profile, channel layout, or another enabled codec feature. Resetting to defaults and applying settings in a documented order is more diagnostic than repeatedly forcing the same property.
