[DreadedGhoul575]

Hello,
I would like to record my game, with the highest quality possible; perfect frames, perhaps 1366x768 resolution at max.

any help?

Thanks,

Matthew

P.S A video example of my current settings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU8_1MrFQoA

I experienced a glitch when recording Killer Instinct; one was the audio randomly switching off near the end and the other video is at 1920x1080 (my monitor screen) it completely shrunk the recording. Could you help me with this?

Maybe... post an OBS log file from a 5 minute or longer recording where you set it up according to the guide I linked above.

The fifth stickied post on the sub forum shows how: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/problem-make-sure-to-post-a-log-and-or-crash-dump-howto.97 .

General internet forum etiquette is to read all the stickied posts before posting, as some or all of your questions are probably answered in one of them.

I can send you the video if you want, but I'd prefer you to choose the way I send it to you, either by youtube etc.

You have to use a CRF greater than 0. If you're trying to do lossless, then maybe OBS Studio can do it, I think so but I'm not sure.

perfect frames, perhaps 1366x768 resolution at max.

I don't understand this comment. Your monitor resolution is 1920x1080, if you shrink that down to 1366x768 (or change size to anything that isn't 1920x1080), you won't have perfect frames no matter what you do.

That was an old comment, my bad. I should have mentioned my new monitor can handle 1920x1080. What's OBS Studio like?

OBS Studio is a re-write of OBS to make it better. It doesn't yet have every feature that OBS Classic has, but they're working on it. And it can already do some things OBS Classic cannot.

Hmm, I guess I'll leave the recording then until there's a patch or something then, if it's in beta.

Its kind of one of those programs that will always be in "beta" though.

Ok then...

 

[DreadedGhoul575]

It's a shame, because I can no longer record anything.

You don't have to wait for it to get out of beta to start using it.

I know, but it's a shame it doesn't function well like you said, plus not many settings for recording for my pc.

For Lossless? Yeah try OBS Studio for that. If you can do lossy, OBS Classic works just fine.

I just want it to handle 1920x1080 and no lag on the video if that's what studio has.

In my first reply I posted this guide: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-classic-how-to-make-high-quality-local-recordings.16

Try it in OBS Classic. Do a five minute or longer encode with those settings and then post your OBS log file. And make sure to use Game Capture, not Monitor Capture.
