E_IMAPI_BURN_VERIFICATION_FAILED

E_IMAPI_BURN_VERIFICATION_FAILED is returned after a burn when the configured verification step does not validate the recorded medium. IMAPI exposes verification through IBurnVerification; the verification level is selected before the burn and controls how written media is checked for integrity.

Keep verification failure separate from the write transport result

Record the selected IMAPI_BURN_VERIFICATION_LEVEL and the original write HRESULT.
Preserve recorder model/revision, media physical type, selected speed, and whether speed negotiation adjusted the request.
Do not report success merely because Write reached completion; verification is the integrity check for the resulting disc.

A verification failure can indicate unreadable or corrupted recorded data even when the write command sequence itself completed. Retrying with the same medium without understanding the failure can destroy useful evidence. Test another compatible medium and, when reproducible, compare supported write-speed configurations and lower speeds. The important output for support is the exact recorder/media/verification configuration, not only the generic phrase “burn failed”.
