All the other games I've tried to record seem to work fine, including other Oculus games. I've performed a clean install of Beat Saber with no plugins and still get this error. I can record using the software modes and I don't seem to have any problems streaming to twitch. I'm running the latest Nvidia drivers. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Your 1080 can run two simultaneous NVENC sessions. The Oculus VR Media Runtime uses one. Is there anything else running that might be using the other session, causing OBS to encounter this error? ShadowPlay (or whatever they call it now?)
