Hi, when recording (I don't have to be streaming) I am experiencing a stuttering, choppy look on my church's videos. It looks like dropped frames, but OBS is telling me I am not dropping any frames. My CPU is only at 7% - 20%.
- I have tried using OBS on a 2011 i7 MacBook Pro, a 2017 i7 MacBook Pro, a 2015 27" iMac, and now a new M1 MAC MINI. All similar results (give or take).
-I have tried using an AverMedia capture card AND a Blackmagic capture card. Also on two different cameras. Same results.
- I am using the LATEST version of MacOS and OBS on the Mac mini (it was better with older versions, but similar choppy results).
- I am only recording at 1080p, 30 fps (bitrate: 2500), but it's stuttered at 720p as well.
- OBS is the ONLY app open.
- I am recording to MOV, because I edit in final cut and have had trouble with other formats (even when converting to MOV afterwards).
- I HAVE tried using the Apple hardware encoder and it still stutters.
The biggest mystery to me is that OBS is telling me I am not dropping frames. And this has happened on 4 different Macs now. Most of them, very capable machines. If not dropped frames, then what could it be? Thanks for any help!
