For recording it's recommended to use CQP instead of cbr or vbr.
Then, set the CQ level between 23 and 15, being the lower numbre the best quality. Please do extensive tests because not all computers can handle levels lower than 18. In your case may be wise to go for 20.
Keyframes 0, preset quality, profile high, don't use look-ahead, test psycho visual tuning on ar off. Max b-frames 4.
Do not use custom muxer settings unless you know what you're doing. Reasearch first.
As an example bellow is an image of the settings I use.

Also, please take a look at the analizer and follow recommendations.

And create separate scenes for different capture methods, so in each one you'll have only 1 game-capture, in other 1 window-capture, and in another one 1 display capture. You can create, within reason, as many scenes you need.

I said where I see the wrong. Your deeds doesn't meet the words.

As for the muxer field - neither syntax right nor the parameter has any sense.
The Custom Muxer Settings field syntax example (2 parameters that making fragmented recording file for .mp4 media container format, it can potentially withstand the crash):
movflags=frag_keyframe min_frag_duration=16000000
