Question / Help Disable encoding
- Thread starter LilyHF
- Start date
When you disable encoding while previewing, then it's not running the video through the encoder. This is just for conveience so that you don't put load on your computer while setting things up and previewing the video. But if you want to record anything, it has to run the video through the encoder. That's the whole point of recording...encoding video. If you were to disable encoding while trying to record a video, nothing would be recorded or streamed. You can't get a video file without encoding it.
If you could post your log, we could help you figure out why your recording is performing so poorly. http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=97

00:38:49: CLR host plugin instance deleted; removing dynamically loaded localization stringsYour encoding settings are way too high for your CPU. You only have a single-core CPU, which is extremely underpowered for live video encoding.
Try downscaling your resolution by at least 3x, lower frame rate to 25fps or 20fps, and use the ultrafast x264 preset. If that still is really laggy for you, then I don't think there's anything you can do short of buying a new computer. I honestly doubt you can encode anything with that CPU.
