It should be possible...what happens when you try that makes you think it's not possible?

I'm supposed to be using 2 monitor captures right? Then set region for both monitor captures. One region works, the other is black :(

Maybe I'm doing it wrong.


Also, thank you for a very quick response Dodgepong

If you are using Windows 8, you can unfortunately not use two monitor capture sources from the same monitor at the moment. While the issue might get addressed at some point, I couldn't really say when that might be.

Have you tried multiple Window captures instead? I believe that should still work in Win8.

Looks like that worked :D Thank you very much for your help!

Dodgepong, you're always so helpful too, thank you so much.


EDIT: Should I submit a bug report for the monitor capture?

It's technically not a bug but design flaw with how windows 8 monitor capturing works. Typically one should really not need to capture the monitor more than once. I would recommend using a global source if you need multiple instances of it instead for the time being and use the crop feature as needed.
