So I updated OBS and now all my screen captures of AmaRecTV do not work anymore. I only messed with an audio option on a previous session with it, so I have no idea how that could have possibly effected the video of a future session (the option was the "Force desktop audio..." option in advanced settings). This seems to now happen when I try to use older versions of OBS too, so it's not the version I'm using, but that and the audio option are the only 2 things that happened between the screen region working, and it not working.

Here's a log of when I first noticed my window capture was broken:

Are you sure you had Aero enabled before? As far as I know, neither EVR nor overlay can be captured using a screen region while Aero is on. If you switch your theme to Windows Basic or Classic, it should work again.

Huh, changing to Windows Classic did it. That's really weird, because I had OBS temporarily disable Aero on startup every time, but it seems to have been deselected since the update. Thanks for the help!
