Capturing active window results in empty files #14

Hi there, first let me thank you for this amazing tool :)

While the modes capturing the monitor and rectangle work, I've noticed the "active window" mode creates 0-byte files on my system.

If there's anything I can do to help debug this issue, let me know!

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19043.1415]

Cheers

Is wcap exe crashing when you try to record your window - is icon staying alive in system tray or disappearing? What kind of window are you trying to capture?

jtconsol commented 2 years ago

No crashes, wcap remains running fine. I had tried only tried browser windows (Firefox and Edge) so far, but now tested with a cmd.exe window - which it recorded fine! I could also record a Chrome window... this is a bit weird...

Hmm, I've tried recording Edge and Firefox and both are recording fine for me. Does something changes if you flip "Only Client Area" checkbox in settings? What about disabling (or enabling) "GPU Encoder" setting?

jtconsol commented 2 years ago

"Only Client Area" did not have any effect, but it starts working when I disable the "GPU Encoder" setting!

jtconsol commented 2 years ago

Can't reproduce anymore. It works fine with the "GPU Encoder" setting enabled, now - Closing this issue.
