[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.

[HOWTO]How to reset oCam's settings

Go to Ocam's Menu-Options and click Reset button to reset all settings of Ocam.

 




Alternatively, after exiting ocam, go to the %appdata%\ocam folder through Windows Explorer and delete the Config.ini file.

However, if you directly delete the Config.ini file, serial information may be deleted as well, so this method is not recommended unless it is inevitable.
