Failure scope

For NS_E_ANALOG_VIDEO_PROTECTION_LEVEL_UNSUPPORTED, the failed contract is that the analog video output cannot apply the policy required by the license. Within Windows Media DRM output protection, this result is raised while processing license-policy evaluation that compares the content owner’s required output protection level or scheme with the active audio/video output path.

Before changing the machine, record analog connector type and available analog protection mechanism.

Data worth retaining

This result is meaningful only while the following state remains associated with one operation: license OPL fields, play or copy action, output connector type, compressed/uncompressed state, driver-reported protection capability and selected rendering path. Preserve the requested action, required OPL values, active connector, negotiated protection mechanism and whether the stream is compressed at that boundary.

A later generic error must not replace this evidence: the original condition remains that the analog video output cannot apply the policy required by the license.

The transition to retest

When documenting this result, state the rejected input and the expected successor state. The rejected input is demonstrated when you record analog connector type and available analog protection mechanism; the successor becomes reachable after you disable that output or use a permitted protected digital path. Record the first lower-layer status beside it because wrapper HRESULTs can otherwise conceal the producing component.

Verification inputs

Field	Value
Direct check	record analog connector type and available analog protection mechanism

Test without erasing evidence

Preserve it and 0xC00D2907 before cleanup, fallback or another media item changes the context.
Compare the failure with a known-good case that changes only the property named by this condition: the analog video output cannot apply the policy required by the license.
Apply the targeted fix: disable that output or use a permitted protected digital path.
Associate it with its current Windows Media DRM output protection object and the requested action.

Separate cause from wrapper

The analog video output cannot apply the policy required by the license.

Different owners, similar dialog

Result	Why it points elsewhere
`NS_E_COMPRESSED_DIGITAL_VIDEO_PROTECTION_LEVEL_UNSUPPORTED`	compressed digital video leaves through a path below the required protection level
`NS_E_UNCOMPRESSED_DIGITAL_VIDEO_PROTECTION_LEVEL_UNSUPPORTED`	the uncompressed video rendering path cannot enforce the license’s minimum protection
`NS_E_COMPRESSED_DIGITAL_AUDIO_PROTECTION_LEVEL_UNSUPPORTED`	compressed digital audio output lacks the protection level demanded by the license

When a retry is valid

Recovery should change the failed precondition by choosing to disable that output or use a permitted protected digital path.

Do not treat every output-protection result as a missing codec; the decoder can be present while the connector or driver cannot enforce the license policy.
