Action! Recordings Are Captured In Slow Motion

I recently tried to use Action after a PC rebuild. Whenever I capture video (AVI) it records at ~2-5 times slower than what I'm seeing. For example a 5-10 second video, the recorded output is 40-120 seconds long. The frame rate of the game isn't slowed or affected during capture. I tried 30 and 60 fps capture with two different games; there was no difference. I also tried turning GPU accelerated capture on and off, which didn't help.

I timed recording 30 FPS, 15 seconds real time resulted in a 45 second recording, 1/3X speed. 60 fps cap for 11 seconds resulted in 21 seconds, ~1/2X speed. 120 fps cap recorded about 14 seconds and resulted in 18 seconds, ~1/1.24 speed. The math seems to show that 144 hz would play normally. It seems this may be somehow tied to 144 hz, but even when I adjust the monitor refresh to 60 fps, I still have this issue.

I am using Windows 10, Geforce 970, and a 144hz G Sync monitor. Tried to capture at 1080p. I tested playback in PD12, Action!, and VLC... all played it very slowly (windows reflects the long duration as well). Action is up to date 1.29.0.0.

I just tested Bandicam and OBS. Both record fine at the proper speed / duration.
This is very frustrating because I purchased Action! and now it's useless. Please help.

Any ideas, recommendations etc? I would really like to get this software working since it wasn't freeware.
