about video/audio rerouting ================================================ NEW WM Capture D3D recording (4K movies and video
games captured from your computer screen) ================================================ More
about video/audio rerouting Note that as of June 2025, the
Google Chrome Canary browser will no longer work on Windows 11. We're trying
to deal with this unexpected Google blunder in a future WM Capture version.
The information below can only be used if the Chrome Canary browser is fully
operational. (see
workaround here.) Reroute video and audio - watch video The purpose of rerouting is to be able to capture
video from the computer screen while watching another video on the same
screen and/or capturing an audio stream while playing another audio stream.
Windows 10 and 11 allows now audio rerouting such that one audio player (ex.
web browser) plays audio through the speaker while another audio player (ex.
another browser or app) plays audio through the headphones. However, Windows
does not allow overlapped video windows to have individual data streams. WM
Capture achieve this using the Background mode. To reroute video and audio WM Capture
requires the Chrome Canary browser and the Background mode. A pair of
headphones should be connected to the computer. Below are a few guides when
rerouting audio and video: · Running
two video windows simultaneously puts some burden on your CPU especially for
large window sizes and lower speed computers. This could cause out of sync
audio, chopped video or even failure to record. Try to lower the windows
sizes as much as possible and always use the H264/MP4 video format. · Run
‘Setup audio devices’ any time you change or remove the silent audio source. · Run
‘Set WM Capture/Canary speaker’ when unplugging the silent audio and use the
Canary browser for recording. · If
the YouTube video played when rerouting does not automatically start redo the
rerouting using the Option menu · Instead
of a silent device (headphones) you can try using the VB-Cable as shown in
our Update-10003. |
