I am new to this so maybe I am just an idiot who's ignorant of how this capture card stuff works.
I can mostly use OBS just fine and I like the program. I use it to record raids in WoW for review later. I don't stream. The one issue I have is that sometimes I forget to stop the recording before I shut down the computer. When I do that, it's almost like the file is not finalized or something. It makes it so I can't scrub through the video file I create which obviously sucks for a 4 hour video. Is there any setting I can use or anything I can do after the fact that won't screw me if I forget to stop the recording?
I got a live gamer 4k card in the hopes that I could use it to record my gaming sessions like OBS does but it wouldn't bog down the computer or corrupt the file if I forgot to stop recording. From what I can see, I can't use it to record my full screen game play. I have a 49-inch Samsung ultrawide with a (don't quote me) resolution of something like 5120x1440. The only way I've seen to capture my screen is to use the multi-source option but when I do that, the video is tiny. Granted the max resolution on the REC software is something like 3860x1440. So, maybe that is why. But it still looking tinier than it should. I thought surely the capture card can do what the OBS does but better. Or am I just an idiot who got a card that's not going to work the way I thought it would?
