Bug Report Window capture and Aero Problem!

So I want to stream my Hauppauge HD PVR from OBS.

I use window capture and select what I want to record.
However,

If Aero is ENABLED then only my recording is black and the rest of the screen is fine.

However, If Aero is DISABLED, then my recording shows up however if that window is not in the foreground other windows appear on the stream like monitor capture.

I searched on the forums and saw that DISABLING Aero will solve problem #1 and ENABLING will solve #2.
So what do I do and is there a way to fix this ?

P.S I searched on the forums and I have not found a solution.

Window capture with Aero enabled doesn't work on the Hauppauge program because the way that the Hauppauge program displays the video bypasses the DWM, Thus, it can't be captured with Aero Window capture.

So you are stuck with having Aero disabled, unfortunately.

So there is no way to get window capture? As if I have it disabled, it captures multiple windows like monitor capture :L

Like dodgepong explained, you must disable Aero for window capture to work with the Hauppauge software. A side effect is that the capture isn't "exclusive" so don't drag any windows on top of what you're capturing.
