Can't Start Recording "Starting The Output Failed Check Log For Info. Note: If You Are Using HVENC Or AMD Encoders Make Sure Drivers Are Up To Date"

[zOOpygOOpert]

I keep getting this error but my logs are different each time, I'm using the AMD encoder, so I'm not entirely sure what the problem is.
Here's My Latest Log

This log has no recording attempt in it. Try to record something. If error raised then upload the log-file (only then close OBS).

Hello everyone,
i am facing the very same problem here. I freshly installed OBS and tried to record a window, but the moment i click on recording i get the very same error message "Starting The Output Failed Check Log For Info. Note: If You Are Using HVENC Or AMD Encoders Make Sure Drivers Are Up To Date". Actually nothing is recorded.

After checking the logfile i don't get any further insight into why the recording fails. This is the last log file i got:

Analyzer | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

As you can see in the log i am using a relatively old system, but it is stable and drivers are up-to-date as far as possible.

Do you see any information on why the recording does not work and how to solve that issue?

 

[qhobbes]

@Baghira you need to use an older version of OBS, such as 27.2.4. Link in sig.

 

[Baghira]

Hi qhobbes,
thank you very much. Yes that solved the problem!
May i ask what has changed since that version and is causing to fail in the newer version on my system?

@Baghira code for hardware encoder from NVIDIA was updated, so it requires newer CPU/GPU. Details:

OBS 30.0 can't start QSV recording anymore

I've been using QSV recording with OBS for many prior versions on Windows 10, but when I tried installing OBS 30.0 today my recordings will not start. I noticed in the recording settings screen there are now 2 different QSV options, one of them says "deprecated" which was what mine was initially...
