Help needed in obs studio

[Shrijit jha]

hey people of the community

I need your help. I want to start a youtube channel for which I need to record my games. I was told that using obs is the best option so i did and was quite disappointed when the gameplay that i started recording turned into a choppy mess. Can you guys help me out, when I play games there is no actual stutter in them but recording is a mess. I need the setting for optimal recording as I play games from 2003 to 2009.

I have a laptop which has an I5 6200u 2.3 ghz , 4gb ram and gt 930m. I am a total noob in these things. like i said i want my games to look smooth and have the minimum hit in performance. Can you guys please just tell me the optimal settings so I can record videos smoothly and with high quality.

 ask me anything about the topic and i will answer them

Thank you

what settings are you using now? normally for local recording go about 25mbit, very fast with x264 or use quicksync.

Trying to get smooth capture on that hardware is going to be quite the endeavor. The best you could hope for is your 930M supporting ShadowPlay and then using that to record at 10Mbps or so. CPU encoding will murder your 6200u, and QuickSync is hit-and-miss for quality and recorded video FPS stability in my experience.

if you doing local recording raise the bitrate to about 25000(10x your current value)

 

Set it from x264 to nvenc if you can, otherwise use quick sync.

[Shrijit jha]

yeah the cpu usage is 100 when recording so how can i use shadowplay as i remember last time i checked it was incompatible  any other methods mate as i really  wanna start this youtube channel

nvenc doesn't work idk why

Its a option, but doesn't work? Probably due to the low end gpu's not have nvenc.

 

Can you use quicksync?

When recording does it show frames being dropped by obs?

 

Does the desktop feel laggy when recording?

Yea thats your probem. Those settings are about as easy as you can get for recording. 

 

Basically you need a faster computer.

Try lowering resolution to 720x480. Not much else you can do.
