Odd recording problem in Windows 10

Hi all.



I have an interesting problem in Win10, started after the last update "22H2" back in Oct, I have confirmed the problem started after that date as I had a system image from Oct before the update, reverting to it fixed the problem till the update re-installed, before reverting to that image, my system had developed a few annoying issues that it became obvious that using a good image was my only option.

Problem is, screen recordings made by OBS, when opened in Videoredo v4 and played, skip forward randomly and navigating to a point in the video to set a cut point generates errors by VRedo claiming the video needs to be stream fixed, after streamfixing the video and changing the audio to AAC (this often makes Vredo more reliably fix a video stream) the video is better but not perfect, this behavior happens when recording in mp4, mkv, (mkv never muxes well via OBS's muxer for me) or TS.

The recorded video plays and seeks well in VLC?!

recording in TS has the best result when streamfixed to mpg, the resulting file is 3x larger than the recorded .TS. and takes a long to to complete, but the issues while editing are resolved and the file plays and seeks well without issue in Vredo.

I've tried other video drivers from Dell, Intel and MS as on researching the problem I found some were having issues with my graphics card (Intel HD520) and earlier vers of the driver fixed the prob, but not for me.

I'm surprised it worked at all. Support for Gen 6 & older iGPU's ended with the release of OBS v30. I think v29.x.x. will work but saw some comments that some users had to go back to v28.x.x.

Thanks for the reply,

Up until the windows update I was recording stuff I was very happy with, I'll download an earlier vers and see if I get better results, have tried all sorts of settings changes, then when it all went to crap deleted the settings folder and started again, I just tried the "Stream Recorder" option and it recorded files that had no issues, but perhaps the quality was down a bit, I have a much older intel based laptop that records well, much older vers of OBS ... except for of course the video quality being a little lower than this one can achieve.
