I've made a few recordings (transferring Hi8 tapes from a camcorder to my laptop) just now whilst experimenting with this brilliant software yet have been unable to locate them in the location/path I set up. I initially chose to record in MP4 then discovered advice recommending to use the default MKV format which I did, also selecting the auto remux to MP4.
Clearly I have an incorrect setting or a hardware issue.

Thanks for the prompt response. There are no recordings shown but I have now realised the issue lies with the error message attached and don't know how to resolve this.

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...

Thank you for your response. I have been able to resolve the issue by choosing 'software' over the 'hardware' option.
