Question / Help Record 2 minutes and it record 5 seconds?

[Dragonwater]

I start recording it runs smoothly except when I go to stop recording. It goes on forever saying "stopping recording" I have to double click it once when it says stop recording and then again when it says stopping recording. When I go to the file it has only recorded 3 to 4 seconds of the 2 minute recording.

Hi! Please post a log from a recording session where this has happened. How far into your recording did you click "Stop Recording" the first time, and then how far in did you click "Stop Recording" again?

I clicked end at 2 minutes and i have to click it back to back to make it stop recording (within 2 seconds) of each other. https://gist.github.com/f11f729fbb0167931998bcbdd90b0f74

I'm reasonably certain that your processor cannot live encode 1080p video, and I'm not sure if it'll manage at all. Change your settings to these:

Output
Output Mode: Simple
Streaming
Video Bitrate: 4000 (assuming you're trying to stream to YouTube)
Recording
Recording Quality: Indistinguishable Quality, Large File Size
Recording Format: flv
Encoder: "Software (x264 low CPU usage preset, increases file size)

Video
Output (Scaled) Resolution: 1280x720
Common FPS Values: 30


Then try to record again.

Even that won't work, that CPU is basically unusable for streaming.

Yeah, I really didn't think it would. I'm not really familiar with APUs, so I wasn't 100% sure, but I was pretty sure it was too underpowered.

I'm not trying to stream I am trying to record....

AMD E-series APUS are extremely weak and aren't usable for recording either.

Your log file showed a streaming attempt to YouTube, which is why I mentioned it.

Regardless, consensus here seems to be that your processor is not strong enough to do what you want here.
