Im trying to record using OBS, but I get black screen. I did

>>59225504
Shameless self bump

What type of window are you recording? Pic says you're using Game Capture.

Use Window Capture set to Outer if you want the entire window.

^this gentleman has shown you your failure, get to it, faggot.

the gamecapture setting is if you're using a capturecard. like an ElShito, and you're not, you're trying to record a window.

A ygo simulator game called Dev Pro.
Im using a HP Laptop with Nvidia GeForce 930M

>>59225504
run as administrator you fucking dicknugget

>>59225752
it wont capture unless you full screen if its a full screen game.

>>59225752

Firstly, update your OBS to Studio. That pic is the old as hell version. You should be on 18.0.0 right now

Secondly go to Sources and add a Window Capture and set it to the games exe (needs to be running to see it)

also make sure you downloaded and are using OSB /STUDIO/ and not just OBS as OBS has been depreciated and OBS studio is the only software currently getting new updates.

Im Using the latest OBS studio. Image is from google. In youtube everyone was using Game Capture instead of Windows Capture. Wont that slow down the FPS?

>>59225892

No? I Window Capture everything at 60 FPS.

>>59225752
>HP Laptop with Nvidia GeForce 930M

lol good luck, you probably wont get 60fps from anything but minesweeper.

>>59225786
Window Capture confirmed for Black Screen as well.

>>59225937

Do you use Kaspersky? It resulted in Game and Window capture being black

Update

>>59225504
hey at least youre getting 60fps on that black screen. sometimes you gotta fullscreen unfullscreen your window to fix this. alt+enter

>>59225961
Can you test it by just recording your desktop for now?

>>59225977
ok. I downloaded it 3 days ago, but I'm downloading the newer version now.
>>59225920
Seriously?

>>59226006
Yesterday, I tried to Record Display, and It recorded at 15 fps. Today it just records black screen like all the other options.
It's worth mentioning that Window Capture doesnt even show me the option of the game I'm trying to record.

does your laptop also have integrated graphics?
if so, make sure you're running OBS on your dedicated GPU
then do what others are telling you about the sources

i've had this issue before

It does also have integrated graphics. How do I make sure of that?

>>59225504
>What do I do?
Read the sticky then delete your thread.

>>59226147
Well, it seems to be already running on your nvidia gpu but you can always make sure by right clicking on your OBS shortcut and there should be an option to choose a gpu. I'd take a screenshot but I'm not on my windows laptop at the moment.

Then either Game or window capture should work if your software is also running on your Nvidia GPU (you can make sure by selecting the GPU when launching). That's how I got mine to work.

>>59226147
Go to the OBS settings for OUTPUT and change the encoder, You'll probably want to use the intel GPU if you can since you want the Nvidia GPU for gaming. You dont want software encoding however as your CPU isnt powerful enough.

Also, i use display capture not screen capture.

Sorry, change it to what?.

>>59226332
quicksync is intel's GPU

NVENC is your Nvidia GPU

x264 is software which uses the CPU.

>>59226456
These?

>>59226478
no, the output page previously had three tabs

>streaming
>recording
>audio

what are your recording settings since you seem to want to record not stream.

>>59225504
change from game capture to display capture.

>>59226622
Display works On and Off. Mostly off in Black Screen.

this image

>>59226751
that just says the codec is set in the stream tab

>>59226802
To what do I set it then? The 3 options are: Nvenc 264, Quicksynch264 and x264

>>59226850
nvenc may be fastest if you have an nvidia gpu
quicksync may be fastest if you have an intel cpu
x264 is a software encoder which will work anywhere

>>59226751
Change the bitrate. 20000 is wayyyy too high.

Try 3000.

>>59226892
20Mbps is already pretty minimal when using high speed settings, 3Mbps would look like ass

>>59226892
>>59226918
Changed from 2500 to 3000, nothing happened.
>>59226879
Tried all 3 options, nothing happened in either.

Faggot

I give up. I'll try again an other day when I have more willpower.

>>59226892

There is absolutely no reason to use an abysmal bitrate like that for local recording.

Add a game capture but go back to Options > Hot keys and set one for hook capture. So whenever you go back to your game, press your hotkey and it hooks to whatever your active game is. I like using the hot key method than the droplist method because it's more fool proof. Spam the hot key whenever you're paranoid if you forgot to set your game.

Fall back order:
>Game capture
>Window capture (weird games, browsers, media players, etc.)
>Monitor capture

Brain dead retard. Video device capture is for capture cards.
