Bug Report Framerate / Video Quality Issues when Recording

Hey everyone! I've been very happy with OBS so far, I've just been having an issue lately.

I've been trying to record Minecraft with OBS, but the framerate of the recording leaves quite a bit to be desired (the framerate in-game is fine though). In Settings > Video, I do indeed have the framerate set to 60. After messing around with settings, I noticed that in Settings > Advanced, changing the x264 CPU Preset makes a difference. When I change it from veryfast to ultrafast, the framerate is very smooth, however the quality of the video is quite lackluster.

Here's a video with veryfast. As you can see, the quality is decent, but the framerate is poor.

Here's a video with ultrafast. In this one, it is the quality that is lacking (especially when transitioning from light to dark areas or vice-versa, or when there are fast areas of motion), while the framerate seems great. It's definitely watchable, I just find it annoying when random pixely spots appear for no reason, or when the video gets oddly sliced in half for a few seconds. Plus, it seems ultrafast puts more strain on my computer, but I could just be imagining things.

I've heard that in Settings > Encoding, lowering the quality can improve framerate, but I've had no such luck.

I hope I've provided all necessary information. Anybody know how to fix this? Thank you!

EDIT: Sorry about that, I didn't realize I needed to post logs... I thought it was only necessary for crashes or errors. Please see my post two posts down.

Oh, haha, really sorry about that! I didn't realize I would need to post a log for something like this, I thought it was only necessary for errors or crashes.

Alright so I just recorded Minecraft on the two settings once again. Logs of these recordings:

Q-10 at 1000 Kbps? For a local recording? Try it with CBR (and CFR, if it's truly meant for a local recording) instead and feel free to experiment on the bitrate... in the upward direction. ;) Also, Minecraft is kind of cycle heavy, so, disable the particle effects, turn down the render/view distance, go with Balanced FPS, etc. Give your CPU and GPU some room to encode in.

I really appreciate the response.

I've enabled CBR and CFR, and I've experimented changing the bitrate many times, anywhere from 1000-9000. I've noticed that, on veryfast, about 3000 yields the best results, although it's still rather choppy. (I've been setting the Buffer Size to the same as the bitrate every time, if that matters.) I haven't really noticed much difference on ultrafast either.

Have any more advice? :)
If not, I suppose just doing ultrafast will be adequate. I'm not planning on committing to Minecraft videos or anything, I was just planning on recording a pvp match or two every now and then.

Thanks again!

Instead of going with a different x264 profile, maybe you could consider changing the priority class a bit -- Settings -> Advanced -> Multithreaded Optimizations -> Process Priority Class -> Above Normal. Thing about Ultrafast -- It's fast indeed but it comes at a great cost, the quality will drop sharply. Veryfast is a very good balance between speed and quality, it was arrived at (within the x264 community) at great lengths and typically is not something you want to let go of.

And, my other suggestion -- Drop Minecraft's visuals a bit. It really is a very resource heavy game.

Yeah, I have the Minecraft settings down as far as they will go. Tiny render distance, no smooth lighting, all animations off... yep.

I've messed with the Process Priority Class, and it seems the higher I put it, the better framerate I get, however the higher the strain on my computer. When I put it on high, it gives me a good framerate but puts loads and loads of strain on my system.

Oh well. Thank you anyways! I really appreciate it!
