I'm new here, so forgive me if I forget to mention/include something. I'm on the latest version of OBS 32-bit (since 64-bit doesn't work with the Elgato HD60 device). I'm trying to do local recordings 720p@60 (I'll eventually want to do live streaming as well, but I figured I should get it all running correctly locally first). My PC: i7-4770, 8GB DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA GTX 970.
So when doing local recordings using the Elgato HD60 as a Video Capture Device, no matter what resolutions (SD or HD), or what bitrate/x264 preset I use (I've tried all presets), I get the occasional duplicate frame (sometimes 3 duplicate frames in a row) and then it skips back ahead to the "live" frame if that makes since... which causes a very noticeable jerk in the video. This probably happens once or twice every 5-10 seconds. It happens whether I record at 60 FPS or 30 FPS (60 FPS is definitely my goal though).
This issue may not be a big deal to some, but it is pretty irritating to me. Note that the same thing happens with XSplit. The actual Game Capture HD software that the Elgato device comes with doesn't have this duplicate frame / frame skipping issue when recording locally or live streaming, but it is too limited in its functionality to do what I'd like it to do, so I want to use OBS or XSplit.
I've followed 5-6 guides online for setting up OBS to work correctly with an Elgato device, but I'm not having much luck getting it to behave without this annoying issue. Any ideas?
