Hi, I've decided to give OBS a try to stream to a few friends of mine.
When I try to use the Monitor Capture mode, I get really bad flickering when broadcasting. What seems to happen is that every few seconds, my computer will attempt to disable Aero or something (I see the borders of my windows briefly turn to what a Windows 7 default setup might look like with Aero disabled - and then immediately turn back) and then immediately reverts. The whole screen turns black during this time, which only lasts about a second, but is disruptive enough to make the stream extremely annoying to watch. Obviously Aero can't actually be disabled in Windows 8 else I'd just do so and probably not have an issue.
Any ideas on what to do here? I've heard Monitor Capture is supposed to actually be much better on Windows 8 compared to Windows 7, so I'm surprised that this is such a big issue for me. I'm worried I may be missing something obvious.
