I use a laptop with an AMD Radeon R5 and until yesterday, the AMD encoder worked just fine. When I try to start recording, it gives me a message saying "Starting the output failed, make sure your video drivers are up to date." I already know about the x264 software encoder, but when i enable that it uses up half of my CPU. I also made sure that my drivers were up to date and everything, but it's still not working. Can someone please help me?
