Hello!
I am a new OBS user, and have been trying to get the program to record my desktop and save the recording to a file using the "File Output Only" option found in the Broadcast Settings. When I start streaming, my desktop appears in the streaming window, and I can see myself moving my cursor, opening windows, games, etc. I record for about 30 seconds, and then I stop the stream. When I go look for the file, all I find is an .mp4 of the length that I streamed with audio, but no video! I am at a loss as to why this is.
Other than changing the "File Output Only", I have all the options set to their defaults. I tried playing with the base resolution settings to specify a monitor (even though the streaming window shows the correct monitor being recorded by default), but whenever I select the "monitor" bubble, hit apply and okay, and reopen the settings to check that they were applied, the setting has bounced back to "Custom".
For reference, I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) on an i7-3770K, 16 GB of RAM, and ~500 GB of empty space on the hard drive that the file output is being directed to. My gpu is a NVIDIA GTX 680.
Thanks!
