OBS is becoming increasingly incompatible with the media center PC for some reason, and there aren't any real alternatives anymore. Here's testing the only thing that seems to be working: window 10's camera app. It kind of works I guess. Funny thing is, my laptop is even older, so if I have to fall back on that at some point to be the media center and these issues cease to be on that, I don't know what to make of it. Given what happened when I tried to stream Far Cry 2 on it, OBS probably just somehow lost proper compatibility with older hardware. Not reasonable, considering I don't see what need there would be. It's not like dropping support for windows 7. The codebase worked fine with older cpus and gpus just a few updates ago. It's sheer luck that the camera app worked, because otherwise I don't know what my options would be. Xsplit is dead and revoked the license I had for its gamecaster component, the new version is super locked down unless you pay a subscription fee, and there really isn't any available alternative. To be specific, what it's doing now is similar to what I saw when I tried to stream Far Cry 2 when I was on my laptop, except instead of only dropping 99% of the frames while streaming or recording, it drops 99% of the frames in the preview window. Obviously I've done all of the standard troubleshooting and it hasn't been fruitful. I will stick to this method for now, even though I have no control over bitrate or color correction and will be sticking with splitting files with avidemux rather than transcoding what's maybe 17MB/s at best videos. It's too low a bitrate to be realistically edited and transcoded to a different bitrate beyond what youtube already does.
