Question / Help Window Capture / Capture Card problem

[jan_susi]

Hi, I have a very weird specific problem, which with all the research I did on these forums I cannot solve. I am using a video capture device and get the red screen with the correct setup. How do I know it's correct? Sometimes it actually works without me changing anything (just readding the source)... So I decided to do it like I had it on my previous laptop (this one is new and the differences are: 1. windows 8.1 instead of windows 7; and 2. 2 GPUs [integrated intel and nvidia] instead of 1), window capture the capturecard software, but this time it's not working... it only shows a black screen on OBS where the video feed should be (almost as seen as seen in the picture below, only that printscreen didn't want to capture the video capture thing either...). Based on the log, I think it could be the lack of directdraw support win 8.1, but that's just my guess, because I'm not quite sure what the use of directdraw is, even though it sounds like it should be connected to this... I'll also include one of the log files, to see if they help. (I've tried switching active GPUs, different windows compatibility modes for both OBS and the capture software [ArcSoft Showbiz], updating obs doesn't help...)
P. S.: I use OBS v0.651b because of the CLR browser for the nightdev follower alert which doesn't seem to work in the newer OBS version...

Thanks for every piece of help I get. :)

I don't know what the rules on bumping are, but I just want to solve my problem and stream my capture card in peace... :/

First, post your logfile. Second, close the program that you are getting the video feed from. captures can only be captured once.

third, make sure its just the video capture device in the scene when testing, dont monitor capture or window capture until you get it to show.:

Here's the log: https://gist.github.com/683c69db0dd8d6c616e6
As for the other stuff... I don't do video capture device and separate software for the vidcap, I either use video capture on obs or window capture on obs for the other software, and it worked out for me so far (before I got this computer). I tried it on a new scene, no difference... (image is attached)
Thanks for the asistance :)

This is the message directshow says:

No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection.

I dont know exactly what this means, but try this:

I'm gonna try replying there with the info they need, but I still wonder why window capture doesn't work for me, if it worked for me on the previous pc (main differences, a laptop with two gpus (integrated and nvidia) and instead of win7 I have win8.1 now)... [also I tried lots of bullcrap tricks by setting different GPUs for default for the softwares... and to no avail]
