NS_E_RECORDQ_DISK_FULL

How to interpret the code in a real encoding session

0xC00D1BA3 is named NS_E_RECORDQ_DISK_FULL. Its practical scope is temporary record queue reaches its configured minimum-free-space threshold, which belongs to archive and local-output configuration rather than to every part of Windows Media playback or Windows itself.

Mechanism and point of failure

Archive output is configured separately from source capture and broadcast delivery. The encoder validates archive type, operation, destination path, collision with input files, available disk space and whether an archive session is actually active.

A live broadcast may continue while local archival fails, because the broadcast sink and archive sink have different paths and state. A typical reproduction is: two-pass capture fills the temporary volume even though the final archive volume has space. This makes the first result from the Encoder more valuable than a later generic message.

Minimal experiment

Record 0xC00D1BA3, the Encoder version and the exact API call or property access that returned it.
Export the current .wme or .prx configuration, then capture queue path, free space, reserved threshold, queue growth rate and pending pass/record work.
Verify the archive and local-output configuration precondition without changing the source, profile and output sink at the same time.
Run one controlled comparison that changes only the identified precondition: free or move storage and size the queue for the intended session before restarting.

Do not collapse these results together

Result	Why it differs
`NS_E_ARCHIVE_SAME_AS_INPUT`	canonical path comparison detects that archive output would overwrite an input
`NS_E_NOTARCHIVING`	an archive-only operation issued when no archive sink is active
`NS_E_ARCHIVE_FILENAME_NOTSET`	starting local archival without a destination file name

What to change—and what to leave alone

Do not overwrite or delete the partial archive before recording its path, size and timestamps; those details distinguish naming, disk-space and writer failures.
