Stops recording after some seconds when trying to capture a desktop source, and crashes when trying to record an app window.
Is a great and useful plugin when it works, yet sometimes using source record on my facecam will only have 1 file saved, (expecting the regular recording and facecam source record) and it will sometimes be corrupted.
Haven't found a better solution yet, but this works for me. Use case: Recording desktop and webcam separately for training videos.
Very helpful but it crashes 100% of the time without fail if I move the game I am recording to another window.
overall its a good plugin, but when recording multiply videos it replaced the previous video I recently recorded with the new video...
I had been using this plugin until the latest version of OBS and suddenly it keeps closing when I have it on as a filter in a source that I want to record. Even the new version has not solved this problem. I think it's a great plugin, but if it doesn't do its job well and causes OBS to fail, it's useless.

I made the case on the forum: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/random-crash-when-displaying-image-source-unhandled-exception-c0000005-fault-address-7fff7db55277.186154/
facing weird issue lately .. not sure if its only with 28.0.1 or all .. didnt test yet ..
when i enable source record eyeball to active it and start recording it stuck .. shows recording but not recording or making any output files .. and when i click stop record it stuck untill i end task totally .. but working well when i turn off source record filter .. any help ?
I used in past but awful now some reason it closed my games now even though didn't have issue before and change anything. Only issue before was audio sync but I was able to fix each time in editing software.
So far I have downloaded it and installed it into the right folder I would like to say over 10 times now. I love the concept and would love to have this work properly for me. But even before I updated my obs version the plugin still wasn't working. If the plugin can be updated to 27.2.4 that would be wonderful. But so far sense I have no way of directly telling if it is (because in the overview it only shows the plugin version and not the version compatibility) I won't be able to use it. If I could have help figuring out why it won't show up, that would be great. If it's just the version compatibility then I will just have to hope the creators can update it soon enough.
I like to use this amazing plugin, but in reality it is limitedly useful, because each grab have a lot of audible "cracks", and this never changes, despite of trying every possible configuration, even in the resetted config. (Meanwhile, the main Recording has no crack at all)

I would suggest:
- To heal this bug.
- to create an option "Record and break", and another "Record (no break)" because it keeps recording while the main recording is on pause... So the duration of the source recorded file is different and this is a big problem, it makes very difficult to edit!
- To create an option "Audio Only" (just to capture the original sound and minimize GPU use and Disk space.
Notice that my OBS has crashed by shutting down OBS after installation of the Plugin.

But the idea of this plugin ist really fantastic, and I encourage the author to make these revisions! thank you a lot for all the other plugins, especially Audio Monitor, my preferred Plugin!

Thank you a lot!
Hello, I have been using this plugin for the better part of a year. It took a bit to get used to and actually get things optimized for the setup i'm running, but it works great. There were some issue at the start with obs crashes and it not recording properly but I've solve the problems. Make sure to not use on game capture, instead use on a group with a set resolution and with the game capture plus whatever other game sources you use. I do the same thing for my camera. This is an excellent way for me to upgrade my videos and how I make them.
It's a really great plugin. Thanks to this, when I record on two monitors, I can separate the video from both monitors and record them directly without a separate editing program.
This is what OBS Recording should be.
I created an OBS account just to review this plugin. I was super excited to use it, and after playing around with it, it seemed like it would work well.

Unfortunately, after over 8 hours of recording, the file got corrupted. I paid money to use repair software to recover it, and after some time managed to recover the video...only to find that all of the gameplay footage is pixelated beyond belief. Testing it out, this is not an issue with recovery--all of my gameplay video comes out pixelated when using this plugin. Tons of time and money wasted.
I used this plugin to capture raw game footage across four sessions, and the second and fourth recordings are completely corrupted and impossible to view. The half that works has poor picture quality compared to the source and the vanilla OBS recording I made alongside it. A great concept that's too unstable to trust.
Good Plugin to use when recording gameplay and face cam as different sources in different quality settings with different bitrates to conserve disk space. However, my only complaint is that it sometimes crashes on startup or crashes on just turning off the webcam. Other than that, great plugin.
This plugin is absolutely amazing. I'm using it to generate special recordings for my editors. This filter basically applied on a group that contains all the elements i want in large size next to each other with no background, also multi track audio! Super useful for editors without all my stream shenanigans covering things so they can make clean edits! It even lets you make chapter markers through a hotkey like vanilla obs but for each source record filter! Definitely taking advantage of all of this.
hallo, this is a good plugin. if you guys find any issue like :
1. OBS crashes when close the app after installing this pluing = close the games first then close the OBS (in this case I've using source record in game capture)
2. when you can find hot key to activate replay buffer for source record = make sure to close the OBS, then launch the game, open the OBS and set game capture to capture the game u want to stream or record then close the game first and now the OBS, and launch the game again following OBS, then bind the hotkey for replay buffer of Source record.
3. if u facing encoder overload try to use HEVC encoder in source record to capture and let the H264 for stream.

and that's it. follow my twitch: twitcht.tv/kuebastard
So I really like source record the only thing I noticed that the recording does kind of bug out after a while using game capture I hope there is a fix for this soon. It would also be nice to have a plugin with OBS like replay buffer to toggle the source recording on and off.
1. Could the plugin not overwrite files? (number filenames like OBS)
2. Where can I find saved replays from the source?

For me, the idea is brilliant.
Sometimes OBS crashes when I close it.
