Recording NDI with Multicorder

Hello, we're using ZoomISO v2 on an M1 Max Macbook Pro. In vMix on a Windows 10 machine, we add the NDI inputs. We go into the multicorder settings and check off the box for each input.
No matter how we configure the multicorder recording options, the only way to get a usable file is to check the box that says "record original NDI MOV". If we do not check that box, vMix creates multiple files all with zero length. All recording options were tried, e.g. MKV, FFMPEG, MP4, etc.
I did see a post on here the recommended a workaround of setting the NDI to an output, then recording the output in the multicorder, but that's just a workaround and we have more NDI feeds than the 4 outputs.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, that is what vMix does and yes, the only way is what you have read. For recording purpose I would recommend a software that has a focus on recording like medialooks direct take. Or kiloview.

Thanks. Doesn't seem like that is meant to be the functionality; otherwise why are all the recording options in there? The documentation implies it would record the NDI signals to the vMix AVI, or FFMPEG, or the other settings. I had seen Video Transports from Medialooks, forgot about Direct Take; thanks for the reminder.

hi stranddoctor,
in fact it looks like some kind of multicorder issue, however you can install NDI Tools and record each source with Studio monitor.

Hi We're experiencing this same issue and would love to see it resolved. If I'm using Zoom ISO to take in 4 Zoom Windows it's not very practical to always have 4 NDI Studio monitors open, having to set the record path for each one each time, having to hit record on each one. Not to mention they record .mov anyway so not saving on space or cpu resources. Can anyone help us understand why recording NDI in the multicorder just doesn't work? To be clear, this seems to be a Zoom ISO issue, not a vMix issue as vMix can record other NDI Inputs just fine but it stinks not able to have isos.
edit: After talking to someone at Liminal and testing NDI from several other sources I cannot get any NDI sources to record properly as mp4's, everything ends up a a bunch of zero-1 second chunks. Stumped.
edit 2: after more testing Zoom Bridge is working perfectly as expected, Zoom ISO is not

Hi,
MultiCorder uses the timing provided by the NDI source in order to create the recordings. If the source does not provide timing information, or only does so sporadically this can cause the symptoms you have mentioned.
You may need to report the issue to Zoom ISO to see if they can embed timing information into the NDI stream.
Regards,
Martin vMix
