OBS issue

As some of you may have noticed when I upload forum reports, my OBS recordings have audio just fine but the visuals itself is EXTREMELY choppy, like 1 FPs or so, and very choppy. Does anyone know what this might be caused by?

 

Have you checked your bitrate?

 

am dumb. pls forgive

 

Check your bitrate. If you are recording at 720p use like 3500-4500 for 1080p use like 4500-5500

 

Ill test this out, see how it goes

 

First, change it from flv to mp4

Second, change it from hardware to software 264

 

Uploading test video now, will let you know if it worked

 

It would seem that issue is fixed, althoug hte resolution dips on occasion, but now ive bonked the sound. but i think i can fix that?

 

It just sounds like you accidently muted your desktop audio in obs.

 

Since this isn’t a hijack and im trying to fix obs what about streaming what settings would you reccomend for obs

 

Hmu on discord

 

As for the res dipping, what are your pc specs?

Using software encoding uses alot of your cpu, where as hardware uses alot of your gpu. Ive found hardware encoding to ALOT more demanding especially if you dont have a fairly new gpu with at least 4 gb of vram.

 

I don’t know the specific specs but I can pull them up later for sure! It’s an older MSI laptop

 

PRess windows key+ R

Typing dxdiag in the run box

Press yes

It shows your specs but you have to click the display tab to see your gpu

these are my obs settings, file size is pretty decent for the quality

Thats your problem. You dont have a dedicated gpu and your cpu and keep up with the demand for recording, the game, and keeping your pc running.

 

So until i get a new PC i just gotta deal?

 

Mostly. Theres nothing really you can do at this point.

Record at 720p 30 fps

have a bitrate of like 2000 maybe lower

Thats all i can really think about i guess
