Question / Help Problem with playback/capture WoW

[Joqer]

Hi,

I am completely new to using OBS, but it seems to be a much better way of capturing/streaming than FRAPs, which I was currently using.

However, I am having a problem capturing the video from my 64 bit WoW, I can see the stream 'live' in my preview window, while I am playing full screen (2nd monitor for anything else I have open) and it appears to be capturing.

When open the file that has been created, I am definatly getting the audio from ingame, but no video, I just have the back screen from windows media player (the music note thing)

What am I doing wrong?

Thx Joqer

Would have to see a log file to check your OBS settings. Instructions on how to do so are stickied at the top of every forum section.

Does the file play back properly in other media players?

EDIT - Update, file opened ok in real player, so all is good, framerate was horrible and quality too, but i havent tinkered with those settings yet...

Ok, I have had a look to see if the video will run in any other player, and it wont, it also seems not to just be wow, but anything is not being captured, except the audio...

:S

have attached the log as requested

Ok, well 64bit WoW currently has issues with game capture. Can you try using Window Capture and see if you get the same results? You said this happens with other games too, though...hmm. Also try using the latest test version, then. There were some changes that might help, here.
