E_IMAPI_DF2DATA_RECORDER_NOT_SUPPORTED

E_IMAPI_DF2DATA_RECORDER_NOT_SUPPORTED means the selected physical device cannot perform the operations required by IDiscFormat2Data. IMAPI separates drive support from media support: a recorder can be unsuitable for a format even before a particular stream is considered.

Test the recorder through the format-support API

Keep the recorder unique ID, vendor, product and revision in the diagnostic record.
Use the IDiscFormat2 support checks for the candidate recorder instead of assuming every optical device can use every format object.
After selecting another device, re-check current media support because recorder and inserted medium are separate constraints.

Changing ISO contents or stream alignment does not add missing drive capabilities. This code also differs from invalid media state: the recorder itself does not satisfy the data-format requirements. Applications that enumerate recorders should filter or label devices using IMAPI support checks before presenting them as valid targets for a data burn.
