Best Answer
You need to define an offset for the capture.
My screens have a horizontal resolution of 1920px. So to record my 2nd screen (located to the right of my primary screen), I add
:screen-left=1920
to the "Edit Options" box. Make sure you check the "Show more options" on the "Open media" dialogue box to see the option.You can also record just a subset of your screen or monitors located above or below your main screen, etc. VLC really is amazing.
Check out the VLC Command Line Options for all the available flags you can pass in:
