I've been having this strange issue for quite some time.
When you screen record,say, youtube videos at their original frame rate (23.976 or 25 fps for instance, and you have to record them like this to avoid stutter) these recordings get some kind of micro-stutter quite often regardless of a properly chosen framerate. It happens both in display and window mode but only in a window mode you can see it in real-time via OBS preview.
CPU usage when encoding doesn't affect it. I saw this happening even at very low CPU usage and when recording via GPU. Settings do not affect it. I tried changing OBS priority,I tried setting ,say, 25 fps as 25000/1000 etc . Nothing I've done has ever fixed it permanently..
Sometimes it starts happening right from the very beginning of a recording. Sometimes it starts having micro-stutters after 15-30 minutes.
Visually it looks as if every X seconds'\minutes frames get dropped\lagged but OBS has never reported about any lagged frames or anything when it happened
It gets kinda fixed (but not always and often just for X minutes) if I alt-Tab back to browser, pause a video and then start it again and quickly switch back to OBS.
The problem occurs when I use fractional or integer fps(obviously, as I need 23.976 or 25 fps)
I wouldn't even consider starting a thread about this issue if it was consistent but the problem inconsistent
Has anyone else ever had something like this?
PS My monitor is working at 60Hz via display port., i7 3770k @ 4.4 16GB, amd fury
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
PPS I've just had another trial run and this time I've managed to record 35 out of 45 minutes without this micro-stuttering and then it started happening again..Overall CPU usage was less than 20% as it had been throughout the whole encoding process.
I stopped the recording but I kept preview alive and it kept showing me this issue.
I don't even have to start encoding for it to happen, just watching preview is enough to see it.
