[FAQ]Error appears when record..  

[FAQ]Error appears when recording starts 'Failed to av_image_alloc'

This error message is very rare and is caused by insufficient memory available on Windows.

Quit the running program and record or make a smaller recording area.

Or it may be caused by setting the recording-scaling-video scaling resolution too high (for example, 8k resolution) in Ocam's settings.
