OBS creating random giant avi files on HDD on its own after pressing 9? Bug?

Hello all,

I registered just to post this question, as I simply cannot solve this alone, and I cannot find any similar problem like this on the internet.

For a few weeks now my OBS has been randomly creating enormous avi files, on its own, to a directory that I don't even have selected as a location for saving. I've been trying to figure out from when it began, possibly around when I switched to recording with flv over mov, although I'm not sure. Up till now I hadn't been able to recreate the problem, it seemed to appear randomly, gigantic XX GB avi files appearing on my HDD, even though I hadn't been recording, nor do I even record in avi (and from the looks of it, OBS doesn't even allow avi recording??)

After pressing random keys on the keyboard (PS/2 Hungarian keyboard), I think I've been able to trace it to the number 9 along the top (not the number pad). Pressing it begins recording a lossless 196 mbps avi file with 1536 kbps audio. Closing OBS stops this process from occurring, restarting the program begins it again (pressing 9 recording).

I've tried replacing my PS/2 keyboard with a USB, same thing.

Here are some screenshots:











Here's my log file, although I don't think it'll be any help as OBS officially isn't even recording when this error occurs, thus as far as I can tell there's nothing in the log:

Could someone give me some insight into what's going on?

It looks like a 3rd party program is recording OBS, thinking it is a game. Perhaps FRAPS or some other screen recording software you are using.

Thank you R1CH with your help I figured it out! At first I thought it could be AMD ReLive, but I had the ReLive function turned off in Radeon settings as it's kind of a piece of crap and OBS is way better, nor did I have number (nine) mapped to record when I HAD used it in the past. Then I realized that MSI afterburner can also record video, which I checked, and BINGO!



Thank you sir! :)
