The command I'm using :
ffmpeg -f gdigrab -framerate 24 -i desktop -preset ultrafast -pix_fmt yuv420p camera1.mp4
Stream #0: not enough frames to estimate rate; consider increasing probesize
And also :
Using AVStream.codec to pass codec parameters to muxers is deprecated, use AVStream.codecpar instead.
And then all the time :
Past duration 0.810524 too large
Some info :
ffmpeg -f gdigrab -framerate 24 -i desktop -preset ultrafast -pix_fmt yuv420p camera1.mp4

ffmpeg tries to guess the effective framerate of the input. It does this by examining input frames to fetch their timestamps. At a minimum, ffmpeg wants 2 frames to make some guess. But there is a limit set to how much of the data ffmpeg will read for this and other information-gathering purposes. The default value is 5 megabytes. Windows GDI supplies uncompressed frames so they can take a lot of space. For a
1920x1080x32input, you need to read at least 16.6 MB for 2 frames, but ideally 4 to 5 frames for an accurate assessment. So,gdigrab's framerate option is private to it and only tells the grabber how long to wait between captures.
For the other two messages, you should upgrade ffmpeg. Your build is at least a few years old.
