Recordings abruptly stop during the first recording attempt a few moments after a recording started. This happens on just about every video recording I attempt. After stopping the first time I have no additional problems during a recording session.

Thanks Martin,

Where do I find error messages? I have looked for those in the past; unable to find any (error messages).

~George

There are no error messages(boxes). The screen will (really don't know how to state this) kind-of lunges which makes me aware something has taken place, i.e. recording stopped. Everything is still in place (inputs). To start recording I was working on again I just have to reset (click) the recording "setup button" (again) and then the "start recording" button to finish whatever project I had been working on.

I thought there was a message that stated "loading preset" but can not verify that as this happens so quickly. I have no presets set as just about every recording has different inputs; sometimes just a couple, other times several inputs.

Thanks,
~George

Need to add, this only happens on the Windows 8 laptop. Does not happen on my Windows 7 (64/Pro version) computer.

Hello,

Not having any problems when using vMix in external mode for live streaming; works great. Only having this problem (sudden recording stoppage) when recording with the Windows 8 laptop.

~George

What had been occurring while recording with vMix (11+) was that I would see a quick message window stating something about loading a preset. I don't use presets.
I am using vMix 12 BETA in the Windows 8 laptop now but have not used it much for recordings yet. Going to wait an see if that issue is still present.
Thanks.....
