Bug Report Software Capture Showing Whole Monitor

When I select a source as a software capture (eg. Dota2 windowed), it shows up as the whole monitor, I am selecting window capture and it was working for a little while before.

Are you sure you don't have a software capture source at the bottom of your sources that is capturing the monitor?
Always have as few sources as possible.

If that's not it, post your log.

As a small update, I uninstalled and re-installed completely and it began to work. Not sure if that is much help for people having a problem in the future. Luckily for me I was setting it up today and didn't have too much to do if I wanted to start over.

Like I thought, for some reason you added a Monitor Capture. Remove that.
Also, don't experiment with the custom x264 exncoder settings, nothing good will come from that. The only thing you should ever need to adjust is the max bitrate, buffer size and the FPS.
Also, set the bitrate and the buffer to 4000 max, I don't think it's good having a 10000 buffer.

With Aero disabled, window capture will no longer capture just the chosen window. If you want to use Window Capture to display only one window and not your entire desktop, Aero needs to be enabled. If you have Aero enabled and have a Monitor Capture source in the same scene, however, you will see a big performance hit.
