    17 As documented [https://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=16904 here], there seems to be a weird visual bug with ''ScummVM'' regarding recording AGI engine games, or possibly just the first ''Space Quest'' game and trying to record footage under certain setups, such as using ''OBS Studio'' in "Game Capture" mode.  It's not consistent, or maybe it only happens on certain frames or cycles, but it's also impossible to detect without looking at the video recordings, themselves.  This is as confusing as it is irritating.

    19 I've marked this as a "low priority" bug because switching to "Window Capture" in ''OBS Studio'' seems to have solved this issue for me.  In all likelihood, this is probably more the fault of ''Open Source Broadcaster'' than anything, but I figured it was worth retreading since this has happened to at least two other people.
     21I've tested this issue with a couple of different DOS games: ''Space Quest, Chapter I'' (v1.0x AGI 2.089, v2.2 AGI 2.917) and ''King's Quest IV'' (v2.0 AGI 3.002.086).  Both of them displayed the same issues with ''OBS Studio''.  I tried changing the video settings as well, but that did absolutely nothing.  In all likelihood, this is probably more the fault of ''Open Source Broadcaster'' than anything, but I figured it was worth retreading since this has happened to at least two other people.
