Question / Help (HELP) I am having trouble connecting my HDPVR1 to OBS to record/strem.

[james lewis]

when i try to connect my hdpvr1 to obs it says incorrect resoluting or something like that anyone have a fix for this issue.

The HDPVR isn't supported. You'll have to use window capture in compatibility mode on another program that can display the capture device's output.

could you link me another program that would work with the hdpvr? does x-split work?

 

[Sapiens]

XSplit does support the HDPVR but that functionality is limited to licensed users only. I don't know of any other third-party software that will work with it.

how do i record the screen region on my game capture device

 

[Sapiens]

Run the Hauppauge software for your HDPVR, then in OBS add a window capture source for it in compatibility mode.

 

[james lewis]

is their not a new version of obs where hdpvr is supported?

 

[Sapiens]

The HDPVR will eventually work in OBS Studio, yes, but probably not in the current version of OBS. It requires custom support due to the way Hauppauge has designed it and its drivers, which is why XSplit has limited it to licensed users and why it doesn't "just work" in OBS like other devices with proper DirectShow drivers.

i have selected the screen region on my game capture with compatability mode on but its just black screen with my webcam in the corner

 

[Sapiens]

I said to use window capture, not game capture.

Hi, so i am using windows capture/ sub screen region to record my videos on OBS but when i try to do this my gameplay does not show up instead just a blank black screen.. i also have compatability mode turned on still black screen.

So basically my video's consist of my webcam in top left corner then just a black screen where my xbox screen should be.

Duplicate thread merged into the old one, starting a new thread for the same issue is not helpful.

If you're using Windows 7 you may need to disable Aero for the window capture source to be able to properly capture the Hauppauge software.

Stop bumping your thread over and over and posting multiple replies in a row. If you need immediate help, come to the web chat.

Sapiens said you only need to disable Aero if you're using Windows 7. You're using Windows 8.

You can try enabling "Capture Layered Windows", or try Monitor capture instead.
