Hey Everyone,

Really hope someone can help, cause I love OBS. Ok so I just got a new dell xps 15 9530 and after installing OBS and trying to record my display I immediately get the encoder error message. I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact I'm using a flat screen tv connected to my computer with an hdmi cable as a monitor. I've read a couple solutions from other people and one was about display drivers and the disabling of one of them in device manager. I too have two display drivers showing in device manager and I'm wondering if this could be a fix? The display drivers are Intel(R) Arc(TM) A370M Graphics; and Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Well I found a working solution. If someone knows a better one please do share. In settings/output/recordings in recording quality I set the quality to same as stream but the only problem is that the recording can't be paused which is no big deal for me at least for now. Hope this helps someone
