Everytime I make a scene and " capture screen " the video is frozen and the video won't show what im doing it just freezes? what do I do

We have to know a bit about your setup. Are you on a Laptop with Dual Graphics Chips for example? Or are you using an Onboard Chip with a dedicated Graphics card in your PC? Maybe you can post your specs and a logfile where you tried to add the "Monitor Capture"?! i guess.

Also tell us what you are trying to capture. If you are trying to capture the desktop with "Monitor Capture" make sure you disable Aero. Tick the checkbox in the Video settings saying "Disable aero at startup" and then restart OBS. If you are trying to capture a game, use Game capture and make sure Aero is ON.

Also one more thing to note: Use only one capture method in one scene. unchecking the source doesn't "kill" the source. It's still there slowing down the performance. So always own scene for Monitor, Window and Game Capture.

Excerpt, changelog 0.520:
* Improved optimization for any code that can make use of SSE2
* Made is so that unchcked sources are internally destroyed when disabled instead of always active
* Made some minor improvements to gif files
* Fixed a crash in directshow

Yes i know.. 3 guys already said that.. didn't notice it in changelog when 0.520/21/22 came out. My bad. I remember when Jim said it isn't meant to destroy the unchecked sources so ofc i thought it still works that way. Just ignore the last paragraph...
