NS_E_FAILED_DOWNLOAD_ABORT_BURN
Where this result occurs in the Player workflow
NS_E_FAILED_DOWNLOAD_ABORT_BURN (0xC00D10DC) marks resolving purchased burn-list items that were not successfully downloaded. Preserve that boundary even when the visible Player message is broader than the producing operation.
Mechanism
At the checkpoint, windows Media Player builds a burn playlist, refreshes its calculated status and delegates physical recording or erase work to the optical-disc stack; The recorder, inserted medium, burn format, staging files and write engine each have a separate lifecycle. The page-specific boundary is resolving purchased burn-list items that were not successfully downloaded.
A recorder that enumerates can still be busy, incompatible with the inserted medium or unable to sustain the selected write operation. A representative way to reach this result is that the burn starts while one purchased track still points to a failed background download.
State snapshot
| Evidence | Why it matters for failed download abort burn |
|---|---|
| Producing object and operation | recorder unique ID and exclusive-access owner, inserted media profile/state, burn format, playlist item, source locality, duration/byte estimate, staging directory free space, write speed, current IMAPI action and underlying HRESULT |
| Decisive observation | store item IDs, download job states, local file existence and burn-list references |
| Generation identity | Record the same disc, device, job or Player operation generation that returned this result; a reconnect or media change creates a different test. |
| Underlying result | Keep the first device, filesystem, COM, codec, DirectShow, IMAPI or BITS result seen before the Player mapped it to this result. |
| Controlled comparison | Repeat the producing call after changing only this condition: finish or redownload every required item before creating a fresh burn generation. |
How to interpret the next test
| Observation | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| The recorded values match the boundary | The result is consistent with resolving purchased burn-list items that were not successfully downloaded; correct that state before changing unrelated codecs, drivers or playlists. |
| A lower layer failed before this result | Preserve that earlier HRESULT or device result because it may be only the Player-level mapping. |
| The same call passes after one isolated change | The comparison supports the failed download abort burn diagnosis rather than a broad installation failure. |
| The code changes after retesting it | The boundary was passed; diagnose the new HRESULT as the next independent stage. |
It scopes the failure to resolving purchased burn-list items that were not successfully downloaded.
Controlled diagnostic sequence
- Capture
0xC00D10DC, it, the exact Player/API operation and the first timestamp at which it appears. - Save store item IDs, download job states, local file existence and burn-list references; do this before ejecting media, reconnecting a device, canceling a job or rebuilding the Player object.
- correlate the result with recorder unique ID and exclusive-access owner, inserted media profile/state, burn format, playlist item, source locality, duration/byte estimate, staging directory free space, write speed, current IMAPI action and underlying HRESULT.
- Reproduce once with the original source and destination, then apply only this change: finish or redownload every required item before creating a fresh burn generation.
- Create a fresh operation generation and verify that the original call advances beyond the failed download abort burn boundary.

Focused correction
For this occurrence, finish or redownload every required item before creating a fresh burn generation. Recreate only the object that produced it and repeat the original operation against the same controlled input.
When verifying it, do not repeatedly start a new burn against a drive that still owns or finalizes the previous session; Capture the media state and recorder owner before ejecting or replacing the disc.
