Question / Help OBS records audio, but not video.

[p4ck3tl055]

I'm trying to capture a training video for later viewing - think of it like recording a Youtube video. Nothing special, not a game. I'm wanting to capture to a local file.

I click "start recording" and I see the preview in the OBS window. I let it run for a few seconds and then stop the recording. When I go to review the results, I hear the audio just fine, but I see no video - at all. This is with both Quicktime and Windows Media Player.

Here is my log - nothing really jumps out at me.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'd sure love to find out.

Try playing the video in VLC or MPC-HC first. I just want to make sure it's not a codec issue, which is what I'm suspecting right now. Just lacking the required codec to play h264 with those media players, I'm assuming.
