Right click your source in the "Sources" box, mouseover "Position/Size" and check "Fit to Screen" and see if that does it.

 

[sunzz]

Nope still the same :(

 

[Krazy]

Can you post a log file?

 

[sunzz]

heres the log :) tysm so far mate for the help it means alot

 

[sunzz]

it says iv got 4 gb memory yet iv got 8 gb :S

It's because you are using the 32-bit version of OBS. Unrelated to your issue.

I'm actually not sure why it's behaving like this. Can you remove both sources and re-add just the monitor capture source?

 

[sunzz]

still the same,like i said before it happens on skype as well,like width wise it misses out just over a quarter,and height it chops off around a quarter as well

 

[sunzz]

heres one were i havent center the screen to fit,so u can see that most of the screen that should be displayed is black and it only shows a seciton

Can you make sure in the source properties that you don't have Sub Region checked?

 

[sunzz]

sub region is unchecked.weird init

 

[sunzz]

hmm i thought id try a different desktop recorder to see if it captured the hole screen,i tried camstudio and when i watch it back my desktop is on a tilt! wtf

 

[sunzz]

has no body encountered this before?

Your software capture source is simply too big to fit the resolution of your current scene. Right click your software capture source, click "Position/Size" and then select "Fit to screen".

Edit: Sorry, I realize this has already been suggested, and I should be murdered. >:

dw mate thanks for the reply anyways :) wonder if a broken gfx card or moniter some how? :S evne doing a share screen on skype shows the same section,its like a built in sub region.

 

[Krazy]

The only other thing I can think of is you have some sort of other capture software or filter interfering somehow, but that's kind of a stretch =/

its so weird aint it,even if i pick sub region and pick my hole screen it still doesnt work,its ok in xsplit tho,but i aint paying for dat sheeit lol,any ideas on wot i could do? thanks for helping btw

 

[sunzz]

just noitced that when i try this software capture out and try use the moniter(desktop) my resolution changes in the settings to 1237 x 696 :S does this mean anything maybe?

FIXED IT,it was aero doing it,if i use the windows 7 basic theme it picks up the hole moniter.so now i just disable aero when i start up open broadcaster and badabing! wonder if i can add this to a guide OBS has incase any1 else gets this problem? shame tbh i hate aero but it stops all my web pages rippling all over the screen when i scroll,sumin to do with vsync i guess.
