Question / Help No video in the output file

[Mastakilla]

Hi all,

Trying to get OBS to work for creating simple video tutorials (webcam + screencapture of the desktop, no games).
Followed one of the tutorials and everything seemed easy and simple, but there is no video in my output files :(

In OBS app I do can see the video, but the created mp4 files only contain audio (they are also waaaay to small to contain video).

Hope somebody can see what I'm doing wrong...

I may see a problem, you have your recording set to monitor capture. it will have trouble recording this. try adding a new source in your scene and choose the "Game capture" should help, also make sure you have the right recording settings, check youtube for that

 

[Mastakilla]

But as I told above : I do not want to capture any game... I want to capture my desktop...
I also tried playing with the recording settings, but nothing I've tried helps... (the initial settings that I've tried also come from a youtube video)

 

[Ajt4321]

did you make sure your resolution is set to your monitor

i just tested and mine works fine

 

[Mastakilla]

 

[Ajt4321]

send a screen shot to your file output in obs settings

 

[Mastakilla]

do you mean this screen?

 

[Mastakilla]

or this?

 

[Ajt4321]

the first one yes...but, i can't read your format or language...does the top setting on the obs setting say "file output only?"

Is the "Modus" Set to "Stream only" or what?

 

[Mastakilla]

file output only indeed...

 

[Ajt4321]

i don't know what's wrong, just keep researching
