I have a laptop and cannot capture some videos I need inside Chrome. I tried Display Capture and Window Capture, with different Capture Methods, to no avail.
Here are the facts:

Is there any way I can capture the video I need with Chrome hardware acceleration turned on? First time posting, sorry if I missed something important.
Here are the facts:
- Capturing YouTube videos works out of the box, no special changes needed.
- The video I need to capture is embedded in a restricted website and delivered by VdoCipher (download protection).
- The video I need becomes a black rectangle in OBS. However, video controls and a watermark on the video are captured fine.
- When I turn off Chrome setting "Use hardware acceleration when available", capturing the video I need works (but Chrome CPU usage goes through the roof, so I get some lag).
- My laptop does not have a dedicated GPU. It only has the Intel HD Graphics 620.
- Regardless, I tried the trick to set "Power saving mode" in obs64.exe (as well as chrome.exe). Didn't work.
- GPU usage in Task Manager doesn't seem to be affected by OBS recording when Output Encoding is "Software (x264)" (so I wonder if OBS is really "running on a GPU").
- GPU usage went up when I change Output Encoding to "Hardware (QSV)", but the problem persisted.
