E_IMAPI_ERASE_RECORDER_NOT_SUPPORTED
E_IMAPI_ERASE_RECORDER_NOT_SUPPORTED reports a recorder-format capability mismatch. The selected IDiscRecorder2 does not expose the commands or features required by IDiscFormat2Erase, regardless of whether an erasable-looking disc is present.
Validate the recorder before evaluating the disc
- Assign the intended recorder and call the format recorder-support check.
- Compare multiple optical devices by unique recorder identity rather than by drive letter alone.
- Recreate the erase format object after device removal, replacement or driver re-enumeration.
This code differs from E_IMAPI_ERASE_MEDIA_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED: changing only the disc cannot add missing recorder functionality. Confirm that the application did not select a read-only optical drive or a stale recorder object. Driver and firmware updates may affect capability reporting, but the application should still honor the support result instead of forcing an erase command.
