Bad Quality Recording issue & Color shift

[Reseta]

im trying to record videos of Visual Studio Code but the colors shift a bit and the text is a bit blurry for some reason
this is my log file : https://obsproject.com/logs/tsBJt4nrOTxa0cyg
also the source window doesnt fit as my current settings which is 1920x1080 i have this dark border on the bottom, if i try to resize it i lose some of the details..
this is my laptop specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)
I use Simple output (NVENC,HEVC) i have the option for H.264 but i think HEVC is better from previous threads
ill post below two pictures to show the difference when recording

This is what you get. Lossless Lossy video encoding is not 100% accurate. This color shift and minimal blur is unavoidable. Encoders are not perfect with encoding high contrast images with sharp edges such as colored text on uniform dark background. If you take a screenshot and save as jpg, you will see the same. In my opinion, your image is really good and you don't need to complain.

thanks,
what about the black borders in my source window?
should i use display capture instead or is it better to use window capture for better quality?
in display capture i dont have these black edges but in window mode i do

All capture methods yield the same quality. They are not equal in resource demand, but as long as you're not recording some resource consuming sophisticated 3D game, that's not relevant.

If you look thoroughly, there is a transparent black shadow behind a window on the desktop. This is a window decoration painted by Windows, protruding slightly over the regular app window. Half of it is part of the window area, another part protrudes a little over the window area. With window capture, it seems the shadow part that's part of the window is captured as completely black and the protruding part is left out.

How you capture this totally depends on how you want to shape your video. This is your decision, according to what you want to show.
People showing VSCode often want to show complete workflows and desktop interaction with additional apps, so you probably need display capture anyway.
