Bug Report Pink screen flicker when streaming display capture

In preview everything in OBS looks fine. However in the stream I'm getting an awful pink flickering during the stream which quite literally makes it unwatchable. This is using OSX 10.11 and a GTX 970 with the latest nvidia web drivers.

Image of issue attached. Any help would be great.

Couldn't get file to upload so...

Just to provide an update in case anyone else has similar problems in the future. I think this is caused by a multi-monitor setup, or more specifically multiple cards. I had the OBS window on one display (old NV120) and was recording another display powered by the GTX 970. I haven't adjusted any setting that I didn't try yesterday but I did try moving the OBS window around on a whim and was able to get perfectly good recordings.

What's odd and why I'm not 100% sure if there's correlation to fix, is I moved it back to that other monitor to see if I could reproduce this and at that point it worked, albeit from the logs it looked to have had some frame lag which I wasn't getting when the window was on the other monitors.

Interesting behavior. If the problem ends up coming back I'll try to provide more information.

Just started today (Oct 2017) with latest OBS. It looks to be an awesome tool, so thanks to all contributors. So far though I just get the pink flashes that were reported above in Aug 2016. I am recording, not streaming.

In some case I get just a pink screen containing only the filename, and nothing from the screen I captured.

Tried to upload here but system says too large even for a single, 5-second screen capture, zipped. So I have put a mix of .flv and .mp4 files on Dropbox.

These 5 files are all I have managed to get OBS to capture so far. This is under latest Windows 10.

Then you should probably post this in the Windows support forum, not the MacOS support forum.

I’m having the exact situation while streaming. Basically everything started since the latest update. I get the pink flickering screen from time to time.
