    I cannot record a video anymore, but the audio works. I tried changing settings and even older versions, but nothing helps. What I can do about it?

    Not enough info. Maybe video was encrypted or protected with DRM?

    Most likely cause and the site probably prevents such recording but as mentioned NIF to begin any process.

    Nevermind, I tried almost everything, but it didn't work. I removed VL from my system and installed KM Player instead. Had the same problem, but when I disabled the sound while recording it worked. What also worked was recording by file crop by choosing a time frame to record. Its different then what I am used to, but it works.
    I am a busy man, I cant be bothered with the problems VLC is causing me!

    I checked all that, but nothing worked. I am using KMplayer now, and it not only records with no problem but also uses less CPU recourses.

    Hello KillWonder! To record your screen and audio, you may try to use AceThinker Free Screen Recorder Online. This will help you to record your screen activity and the audio in your system. When using this tool you don't have to install or download any software. You just have to go to its website and start your recordings with a single click. Unlike other screen recorders, it doesn't leave any watermarks or any time limit. I hope this will help you. Thanks!
