I'm experiencing a problem where the colors in my recordings are being swapped and distorted. Sometimes when I record though, it seems fine but at random times one recording will have this problem. It also seems to make the recording much laggier at times, but I don't know if they are connected. I recorded some game play of CS:GO to show the problem. First, I show a clip with no affect on it. Then, I show one with the problem and at the end I turn up the contrast so you can see all of the colors.

As you can see, it looks as though the blue is becoming red and the red is becoming blue. I have no idea why this is happening. If anyone knows a fix to this or how to get rid of it post recording please let me know. Thank you!

Post your logfile. are you using any color filters? also do you use any programs that raise the contrast or saturation?

I'm not aware of any color filters, and the only other program I had open was Google Chrome. If it is any help, I'm running Linux Fedora 23.

Well I moved your post to the correct area but not sure what is wrong. there might be some linux guys in this forum that can help you better.

I will say that if you change your x264 preset to superfast your encoder will not lag so many frames.

There is a simple fix to this: link

This was an issue I ran into when first recording as well.
