screen:// How do I get just one screen?

Postby soulstitchmmo » 30 Jul 2012 23:24

Trying to get stream my screen, and for now I'm getting it to stream to a file till I can get it to stream to Twitch.

When I stream to a file, it's capturing my entire desktop, both monitors. I can't find documentation on how to modify or what options I can add to only capture the one desktop. Using a fresh install of the latest VLC.

You cannot select one screen, but you can select a subsection.

Ok. How do I select a subsection? Like a region capture? How do I do this?
