Question / Help Local recording not working

Generousboy · Feb 18, 2013

Hey! When using local recording there is a black screen instead of WoW/LoL or w/e. I can hear the music, but there is no picture =C

If none of those help, we'll need as much information as you can give us. A log file would help too

Please post a log file.
But I'm guessing you are using monitor capture with games in fullscreen mode. You will need to use windowed or fullscreen-windowed for monitor capture. Also make sure Aero is off if you use monitor capture on windows 7 and below.

I have troubles only with the local recording. Streaming is good

You have a lot of lagged frames because you are using monitor capture with aero enabled.
That log didn't change my mind, can you post a stream log where stuff is working?

if you're gonna lag about 98% frames at 4000 bitrate you're gonna lag 100% at 16000

just use game capture instead of monitor capture (delete it) and lower the fps to 30

Generousboy · Feb 18, 2013

So i need to change bitrate?

Generousboy · Feb 18, 2013

Oh. I forgot to say. Even any browser is not captured not the game

Generousboy · Feb 18, 2013

3000 bitrate and 30 fps. still BS

hilalpro · Feb 18, 2013

the bitrate is mostly fine, its the capture source, the fps and that 1920x1080 that has the most impact.

lower the fps to 30 and if you really want to capture everything on the monitor then also disable aero from settings >video and restart obs

Generousboy · Feb 18, 2013

Disabled AERO, lowered FPS. The same

hilalpro · Feb 18, 2013

post a log so we can see if any progress has been achieved

much better, now what you need to do is go to settings then video than press "disable aero" press ok then close obs and open it again. you have to do it like that

you simply can't show a glass theme in obs in windows 7

It doesnt

Generousboy · Feb 18, 2013

with vlc it is 0_0
