[FFmpeg-user] [dshow @ 045e0060] Could not enumerate video devices.

[Bryce McLeod]

Hi,
 You will get this message if you do not have a direct show device called
'screen-capture-recorder' installed/available. You can use

ffmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy

to see what is available.

It's worth noting that connecting over rdp can change what direct show
devices are available (audio devices in particular) so if you do have
access to the console it might be worth trying it there to see if the
results are any different.

Regards
