͏ Probably the "title" failed to match? (try "hwnd"?)
͏ https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-devices.html#gdigrab
͏ https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Video-Options
͏ .
͏ And "-framerate" is not properly applied. (misused as output option)
͏ Interpreted command:
͏ `ffmpeg -f gdigrab -i "title=RecordingTest
[C:\Users\rache\Downloads\RecordingTest.blend] - Blender 4.2" -framerate
30 -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -b:v 500k -s 1280x720 -pix_fmt yuv420p
"out0.mkv"`
͏ Likely not permissions issue.
͏ But the recording target matching.
͏ (either somehow multiple "title" matched; or the matched "title"
changed meanwhile)
͏ Is recording "desktop" always working normally?
