encoding

I had been streaming just fine for about 7 months and then out of the blue my stream has just started lagging real bad, the video stutters but the audio has not changed. The only change ive made in that time was a new graphics card (went from a 166ti to a 6750xt) about 4 months ago. Had no...

Hello, I recently built a new PC with an RTX 4080 Super and I thought of using H.265 since I have "spare" resources now. Settings I've used previously for recording (to use in editing software): 1080p H.264 NVENC CBR with 30k bitrate Preset P7, Tuning "High Quality", and Profile "high"...

This seems to be something I can't seem to get rid of when I play certain games. When I stream I will get a notification that encoding overload and after a few mins my stream will start to be 2 mins behind and but my audio isn't. I will be streaming and I will say something but it isn't at the...

A random crash sometimes occurs when I'm playing games while streaming. No idea why it does that, but OBS crash crashes other apps (like steam, discord, chrome tabs with videos). Maybe the issue isn't OBS after all? Noticed gpu's 3d and video encode graphs spiking at the moment of crash. Crash...

I wanted to ideally record 4 sources, but I just have an NVIDIA RTX 3060. I know it's not possible. I was wondering if changing the encoding can enable me to record more. Say if I record 1 source with x264 and 1 with NVENC will it make a difference? [Since 1 will load the CPU and 1 will load the...

Hi, I currently have an Amd Rx 7600 GPU and used to use HW accelerated AV1 on Windows. Today finally made the call and switched to Fedora and the only confusion I have is the AV1 encoding settings on OBS (30.0.2 version downloaded from website). The only options I have are: AOM AV1 SVT-AV1...

Hi. I have heard that nowadays OBS supports AV1 encoding for nvidia 4000 series cards as well as intel arc cards. Are there any lads out there that already use this av1 encoding option and how does the quality of the stream compare to regular nvenc or x264 encoding? In particular I was curious...

Hello I know the answer (or at least I think I do) to what's wrong but I dont know how to fix it. So in OBS my quality looks great for my webcam, but when I stream it looks like trash. My lighting situation is just fine. When I stream and I am playing a game that requires a lot of movement...

Hello, I have a Ryzen 7 5800x3D, an RX 6600, and 16GB RAM (3200mhz). I do single PC streaming and notice a significant performance loss when gaming and streaming at the same time, when I game my GPU is at full load, and my CPU is at 40-50% use. Would I benefit encoding with my CPU rather than my...

Hello, I just got a new pc (cpu and gpu), I installed OBS and trying to stream, but after a bit of gaming, even after 30secs, stream crashes and error says "An encoder error has occurred while streaming". I have a lot of "Frames missed due to rendering lag" and "Skipped frames due to encoding...

I've been fiddling with a bunch of advanced settings in OBS to fix some audio settings for my use case, and in setting these, I've had to use the Advanced output mode. In the recording section, I actually just set the quality to lossless thinking that the change wouldn't be that bad, but it's...

Hi about 3 days ago my OBS was working just fine. Recording with no stuttering and it was quite smooth but not no matter what I do I cannot get it to record smoothly. It definitely does not look 60 fps, it looks more like 20 lol. Any idea on whats going on? Here goes my most recent log. I am so...

Hi OBS Forum, ich wollte mal fragen ob meine Auslastung zu hoch ist? Encodierung erfolgt wie im Titel steht über Grafikkarte. Ich bin bei ca. 25 bis 40 % und das ohne ein Spiel zu spielen. Mir ist das heute mal wieder richtig aufgefallen und ich bin mir nicht sicher ob das jetzt durch das neue...

I have been having some issues processing OBS recordings with Davinci Resolve specifically. When I upload media to Davinci Resolve the audio waveforms don't show until about 20 seconds into the clip and the audio is kind of messed up. I have Remuxed it to mp4 and mov files but nothing seems to...

So about 7-8 min into my stream (usually COD Warzone) I get an encoding error " NVENC Error : get_encoded_packet: nv.nvEncLoclBitstre am(s, &lock)failed: 4 (NV_ENC_INVALID_DEVICE) " or just a basic " An encoding error occurred while srteaming" I monitored my CPU and GPU while doing test streams...

I've been fighting this all day today. The recorded framerate is dropping on every recording. I only do local recordings of either my webcam, or webcam with screen share. Thats it. Transition between the two during recording. Today I am getting framerate loss on everything. Its an older...

I'm guessing this is a super unique request, and I'd be shocked if it exists but... I often record screen share video explanations for my clients and send to them by email (I'm an insurance professional). However, for the sake of time I'd like a plugin that will automatically take what I'm...

Hey, I am experiencing problems with recording. Whilst recording in game everything is smooth and fine, but watching back through the recorded footage there are a few dropped frames. Not a lot, but still noticeable whilst watching the footage. I made a log and I'll link it down below. Is there...

Hi everyone. Recently started getting this encoding error with OBS Studio randomly after the most recent GeForce update. It doesn’t happen immediately while streaming but often 3-4 hours into a twitch stream with no previous issues or warnings that it’s going to happen. It cuts my entire stream...

The premise of NVENC is to handle video encoding without impacting game performance much. There's a lot of discussion on the internet about the computer resources used by NVENC in various forums, blogs, Youtube videos, etc and the general consensus seems to be that it does use a bit of CPU and...
