Encoder error

For the last several months, every time I try to record with OBS, I get the following error: "An encoder error occurred while recording". I just updated to the latest iteration, hoping that would help, but no dice. What I did notice as I was trying to troubleshoot is that the error occurs immediately upon me hitting the "Start Recording" button or my hotkey. I've checked my settings and can't see anything amiss, but perhaps I'm missing something. I've tried changing various settings but no change.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently no way to edit my previous post, so let me add here that I went to YouTube and followed the instructions to set up OBS Studio for recording, and I still get an encoder error as soon as I hit record.
