Unable to record with Dxtory in latest stable build

[gunstarpocket 9]

Hey gang,

Ever since .61 hit stable, I've been unable to record my gameplay using Dxtory.  It worked fine in experimental, but now, it only records the audio and the video is completely black.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

noticed that Battleye is blocking any files?

some weeks ago, there was someone here that complained about BE blocking x64 matrox codec dll-files

aye, that was me!  64-bit client hasn't worked with Dxtory since it released (battleye blocks it), but the 32-bit client worked fine until .61 moved to stable.  Unlike the 64-bit client, which Battleye blocks with a pop-up notification, there's no Battleye message saying the 32-bit client is blocked.  Dxtory seems to record like normal, but after recording, the filesize is a fraction of what it should be, the video is entirely black, and the only thing that records successfully is the audio track.  I wonder what they changed to make Dxtory act this way...  it's a mystery!

does dxtory have any problems with recording from a borderless window?

if yes, check if it's enabled.

if no, maybe try swiching to it.

I've never tried recording from a borderless window in Dxtory - always recorded fullscreen, with no problems.  Just tested it with Counterstrike and Rocket League, and it's working fine.  There doesn't appear to be any "borderless window" settings within Dxtory.  For fun, I just tried recording DayZ in windowed mode, and it the recording wouldn't start.  Very strange

Hey gang,

I'm still unable to record DayZ in the latest stable branch using Dxtory (records black screen, audio only.  works fine with CS:GO and Rocket League).  I've set all DayZ and battleye.exe's to "Run as Administrator", but that didn't fix it.  I've tried every Dxtory video codec under the moon - all of them record the same black screen.  The mouse cursor DOES record, which is kind of odd.

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi?  Any ideas?

EDIT:  I downgraded Dxtory to version 2.0.136, and the problem is fixed!  Hopefully this helps someone else down the line.
