E_IMAPI_DF2DATA_CLIENT_NAME_IS_NOT_VALID

E_IMAPI_DF2DATA_CLIENT_NAME_IS_NOT_VALID reports invalid client identification on the data-format object. IDiscFormat2Data::put_ClientName sets the friendly name used by the IMAPI client, and the value must be accepted before the write workflow proceeds.

Validate client identity at object setup time

  • Log the exact string passed to put_ClientName, including whether it is empty.
  • Set the client name once during format-object initialization rather than deriving it from changing image metadata.
  • Do not retry the write until the client-name setter itself succeeds.

This HRESULT is not a filesystem volume-label or disc-title error. Those names belong to image or filesystem metadata; ClientName identifies the application using the recorder. Replacing the disc or rebuilding the data stream cannot fix an invalid client string. Keep the client-name setup result separate in logs so a later write failure is not incorrectly blamed on media.
