Question / Help First timer here. The OBS App won't open.

[Ira A Pacheco]

Hello! My name is Ira.

This is my first time ever be on this forum.

Anyway, I brought the Deekec USB 2.0 Video Capture device on Amazon.com and it works fine on VLC Media Player App, however you get a blurry vision.

But when I tried open the OBS Studio App, it keeps saying this error: "Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your graphic drivers may need to be updated." What does it mean?

I am using Windows 7 Professional (Dell Latitude 2110 Netbook)

Mentioned PC lacks minimum requirements for OBS Studio.

OBS Studio uses hardware acceleration of Direct3D (from v10.1) or OpenGL (from v3.2). Without hardware acceleration it refuses to start. OBS Studio uses hardware acceleration and shaders computing of the installed video card* to transform and combine sources, to render and filter output.

* Some video cards has build-in hardware encoders. OBS can use Intel's Quick Sync, AMD's VCE, NVIDIA's NVENC.
