NS_E_INCOMPATIBLE_FORMAT
What NS_E_INCOMPATIBLE_FORMAT means
NS_E_INCOMPATIBLE_FORMAT (0xC00D0041) means the station cannot use the stream format presented for the requested Windows Media operation.
Evidence to preserve
Capture the station/output identity and the complete stream format: codec or subtype, rate, channels, dimensions, bitrate, and relevant profile fields.
Interpretation
This is a compatibility mismatch between the stream format and the station, not proof that the source bytes are corrupt.
Recovery and verification
Choose a format/profile the station supports or transcode before delivery. Retest with only the format changed so the compatibility decision is attributable.
