I hope this doesn't sound like too dumb a question, but how can I record directly to a file on the same computer running the latest version of Axy 2024.1.0 ?

I found a couple of older tutorials/posts describing how to output video on the same machine using the Record_3-Audio.xcomp or the Video Recorder, but with the latest version (2024.1.0) these are asking for a valid output index (monitors don't count). If I only have monitors set up as output devices, the record nodes/comps refuse to record so, how can I record to a file?

Apologies if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find anything with a search in the forums.

SOLUTION FOUND: So it turns out that you must have at least 1 video input mapped in the device mapper even if you are not using it. In the case of my test laptop, I simply mapped the built-in camera to device #1. The message log kept faking me out by telling me that I didn't have a valid output device at Index #2, so I was looking in the wrong place. It should be added to the documentation and/or setup videos that at least one input device must be mapped to enable output recording.
