Question / Help No video recorded

Hi all,

I had the notorious black screen issue, which I was able to fix. Now when I record videos, I get the audio, but an all green video. I thought this might be a codec issue with MPEG-4, so I downloaded a variety of codecs. Nothing worked. I get the same issue in every media player.

What else could this be?

The previews in the OBS software look fine.

My specs:
i7-3610QM @ 2.3 GHz
8 GB DDR3 RAM
GeForce GTX 660M
Windows 8 64-bit

Thanks for the help.

I just tested another .mp4 file that I found randomly on the internet on my computer and it worked fine.

I was actually hoping for the actual original video file rather than a YouTube upload.

Try to play it back in VLC, it sounds like your video player has codec issues or your video card has bad h264 hardware decoding.

I get the same problem.

And like I said, I don't have problem with other .mp4 files. Just these recordings from OBS.

FIrst - if you have issues playing back or editing OBS mp4 files, make sure to turn on "Use CFR" in advanced. If that's the cause, then, hm. If that's not it, then wonder if it was due to recent changes we made to the color space output. We changed it to full range encoding, which might have issues with some decoders. What are you using to play back the file? Right now I'm having no problems with MPC-HC and VLC - so I'm guessing it's potentially codec related for some of you here.

Hey there!

Just created an account to say that it worked after I turned off CBR and started it in administrator mode. But I think doing either of these would do the trick.
