Error Codes (Windows Media Format 11 SDK)
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
Microsoft has defined the following error and success codes for use in the Windows Media Format SDK. These codes are a subset of a larger collection that can be viewed in the header files asferr.h (ASF codes) and nserror.h (other codes) that are included in the Windows Media Format SDK. Additional common error codes can be viewed in Winerror.h.
