Corrupted frames for the first 2 seconds that happens at random

[rainado]

Ok, in some of my gameplay recordings. The first few seconds is corrupted, I assume, but the rest of the video plays well. I use the advance settings, using h.265, CQP level 22, preset on quality, keyframe intervals at 2 and output as a mkv file. Sometimes I get this corruption sometimes I don't and I would like to have a "corrupt-free" recording because Davinci resolve is able to generate proxy files if there's no corruption.

Things I have tried:
- Remuxing the "corrupted" file still outputs a "corrupted" version
- Using the simple setting may fix it but I like to have 2 audio tracks and I'm not really keen on waiting for the next 29.1 update or to use the beta version as its technically not stable
- Cutting the "corrupted" bit causes to much time as I have to re-render it again
- I have looked through the log file that has that recording but there seems to have no differences to recordings that came out fine, using the analyser said everything was alright
-I also used h.264 before but still caused the same issues
-Ive also unchecked the limit framerate capture if that did anything - it didn't

In the log, the first two recordings that "went well" are the ones that got corrupted

Try x264 or rollback to the last GPU driver that worked for you.

Also, create another Scene & move your Window Capture to it. Having both Window & Game Capture in the same scene can cause interference.

I've isolated Game Capture on it's own and it didn't work. I've also changed to x264 and that didn't fix the issue, plus I don't really want to put my CPU to work. Rolling back on a driver is not really an option I can go on, as games would prefer to be with the latest plus AMD drivers are already bad enough.

Thanks for the suggestion though

So I'm using the simple mode instead of the advanced mode and it would seem that resolves the issue. However, the simple mode does not support multi-audio tracks which I would like. So if there's anyone able to explain what differences are there between the simple and advance settings also to make the advanced settings "act" like the simple mode. That would be appreciated

You may want to try the OBS 29.1 RC 1 as this new version added the audio tracks on simple mode.

Backup everything (scene collections and profiles) before you install this version, just in case.

I remember people having trouble recording multi-track audio when using high frame rates, not sure if that bug is still in play. Try setting your monitor @ 60Hz instead of 75.
