Question / Help OBS Videos record only 1 frame

[moccor]

So I am using a Alienware m15 (8750H + 2070). The only capture source that works is Window Capture, at least that's the only one I managed to make work. Display Capture would be cool, but it seems to think only my laptop screen with the screen off is the only available screen, thus showing a black screen? Anyway the more important thing, I have managed to get it to record a couple times fine but then after the recording it likes to just record 1 single frame + audio only. And I am unsure of how to fix that. Out of about 20 tests and switching stuff around I only got it to work correct about twice.

It may be a bit confusing, because ideally I'd like to have separate scenes for 1080p and 4K recording, since I use a Alienware AGA + RTX 2080 as well on a 4K TV. But this is my log -

With multi-gpu laptops like that, you have to select which GPU OBS uses. Usually, this can be found in the right-click context menu or can be set manually in the NVIDIA control panel. You can also try running OBS as admin.

I tried playing with that but it seemed like anything besides 0 just would cause crashes in RPCS3. I'll have to double check and try again though.

Edit: So with your suggestion kram106, I managed to replicate recording videos nicely and with display capture. Wonder if the display capture has to do with the AGA being off or maybe display capture just never worked cuz it needed GPU1 selected (GPU 0 is definitely the intel GPU). Gonna have to play with this some more with my 2080 and AGA, maybe use a OBS portable for separate setups to avoid having to manually change GPU numbers every time I switch.
