If I use the Encoder "NVIDIA NVENC H.264" an error message appears:
"Starting the output failed. Please check the log for details. Note: If you are using the NVENC or AMD encoders, make sure your video drivers are up to date."
I´ve got the latest Nvidea Drivers. When I wanna record with the encoder x264 and full HD it starts lagging really hard. The same thing happens when I use QuickSync. I´ve got a i7-7500U processor and a NVidea GTX Geforce 940M graphic card. What can I do to record in full HD without lagging or get it running with NVENC? Thank you! Here´s the log:
