Recording window captured in video

[mcomputer]

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the closed or open issues, so I'll bring it up. On my screen, when I record, the actual recording window is captured in the frames.

If it helps, I'm currently using this on a first-gen Surface tablet. I would assume it has something to do with the tablet interface and this issue is probably so rare that you won't address it and I understand if that's the case. Just figured I'd put something down in case others had the same issue.

Windows 8.1 or Windows 10? Also, resize the window to a bit smaller of a size and see if it fixes the issue.

Windows 10.

Also, I tried moving and resizing the window. It's like there's a part of the screen that's recording outside of the specified area. When I move the window in the middle of a recording, the video moves proportionally to how I'm moving the window.

Edit: Just attempted on my ASUS Laptop as well. The same thing occurs. I assume it must have something to do with 10 then.

This happens to me as well on Windows 10 on my laptop. Resizing the window doesn't change anything. Here's an example: http://webmshare.com/play/Qzo4e

And moving around the window doesn't move the recording either? Could you make an example WebM of you moving around the window and resizing it while recording? And make sure you're both on .NET 4.6.1

Check out build 2.1.1b in the release section (https://github.com/theTarkus/WebMCam/releases)

In the options, click the checkbox "Alternative window tracking method." If this doesn't fix it, then I know it's not the window_move and window_resize functions not being called but may be the recorder's region does not want to be updated, or may even be GDI's problem (unlikely).

I'd still like to see the WebM from 2.1.0 too. Thanks!

Sorry, I don't have an environment to build that with. Here's a short clip of moving the window around in 2.1.0. I can't seem to resize the window while recording. http://webmshare.com/play/vA14z

I had a similar issue, disabling DPI scaling for the app fixed it 👍

The checkboxes from the side panel clip into the recording space when I disable DPI scaling. Though it at least grabs the right screen region when I do.

Surface Pro 3, Windows 10
