H.264 (AMD APP): Failed to Initialize Codec. Radeon 15.12

Mon Jan 11, 2016 10:19 am

Hi,

I am running the latest Windows 10 64 bit and AMD Radeon 15.12 Crimson with Bandicam 3.0.1

If I try and record IL-2 BOS with the AMD VCE preset I get the error "Failed to Initialize Codec"

It can record with Motion JPEG but not with AMD VCE.

My settings are the AMD VCE preset with the frame rate changed to 60FPS, everything else was untouched. I am recording to a second SSD.


My system specs:

Windows 10 64bit
ASUS Maximus VI Formula
Intel i7 4770K
MSI R9 Fury X
16GB 1600 Mhz RAM

Hello!

1. Do you see the error message when you use the 'Screen Recording Mode' of Bandicam (http://www.bandicam.com/how-to/screen-recorder/)?

2. Do you see the error message when you record other games?

3. We couldn't reproduce the problem with Radeon 15.12.
Please uninstall your graphics card and then download/install the latest graphics card driver, and then try it again.

4. We will also send some old versions of Bandicam.
Please let us know your result.

Only when hitting record. It is a bug with the AMD driver on Fury cards with 15.12 and 16.1. The guys at PlaysTV gave me a temporary fix which also fixed it for Bandicam.

There was a AMD hotfix 16.1 which Windows update could have messed up if you had hardware driver updates set to yes like I did as I left it on for another reason. On windows 10 it's best to have that set to no. I did see the update did fail in the Windows 10 update history.

Hello allan,

It might be a problem with your graphics card driver.

First, please uninstall your graphics card driver and download the latest graphics card driver.

If you still have the problem after installing the latest graphic card driver, uninstall Bandicam and download the latest version of Bandicam 4.0.0.1331 from https://www.bandicam.com/downloads/ and try recording again.

If it doesn't work, please provide us with the following information.

1. Do you see the error message when you use the 'Screen Recording Mode' of Bandicam (https://www.bandicam.com/how-to/screen-recorder/)?

2. What is your current recording target? Do you see the error message when you record other targets?

We look forward to your reply.

Thank you.
