After the recent NVIDIA driver update, the following message appears when starting the recording session in LUXEA Recorder:
“ Encoding failed. Please disable the hardware acceleration from Options > Performance and try again.”
To work around this issue, please follow these steps:
1. In the Luxea Pro Recorder window, click the Settings button (gear icon) in the top-right corner.
2. Select "Performance" under Options on the left-hand side.
3. Turn off "Enable Hardware acceleration" and click the “OK” button.
4. Start recording.
This issue will be addressed in the next update of the LUXEA Pro 8 Recorder program.
Note: This issue does not affect the Video Editor component of LUXEA Pro. Applying this workaround in Recorder does not change any settings or behavior in the Editor.
