Question / Help got info, nvm

You have to use simple output. Put a bitrate of around 50000 (for 1080p60) Make sure your encoder is NVENC and an audio bitrate of 192. Under recording change your recording path to where it would save your replay if you pressed save.

Put your quality on same as stream. And change recording format to whatever you like (most people use mp4). Check enable replay buffer on the bottom.

Here you say how long you want it to record back in time. (keep in mind it is different than shadowplay in where it saves it to memory instead of your disk. So if you only have 16 GB of memory you probably don't want to save more than a couple of minutes of video. If you have 8 gb of memory you will be really limited.

Obviously if you reduce your bitrate you will be able to turn it longer. Conveniently it has and estimated memory usage so you know about how much RAM it will use. Make sure you set a hotkey for save replay buffer then hit the start replay buffer button.

Then it is active when you hit your hotkey it will save the amount of time you selected to your hard drive where you set your recording path.

When you hit stop replay buffer it will not save footage instead it will stop the buffer not allowing you to save your footage anymore.

When you save a replay buffer does it also save the audio as separate channels like dxtory?

edit : asking here so i don't have to make a whole new thread, seems like a relevant question.

 

[C-Dude]

No, since you have to use simple output mode multiple audio tracks are NOT available.

 

[Osiris]

Not yet anyway.

If you want to stream at the same time use one of the "Recording Quality" presets and select Hardware (NVENC) as Encoder.

Note that you also need to set a memory limit when you use these because OBS can't estimate the needed memory amount in this case.

Whatever gets reached first (memory or time) is the limit.

So if you set a limit of let's say 1 GB but the maximum replay time (seconds) needs more memory the recorded segment would be shorter.

Any reason why 50,000 specifically? My internet will die if I stream 50,000 and I don't see any options to just make the recording 50,000 (and the advanced section doesn't have replay buffer all together)

well it is just because 50000 is what shadowplay uses for 1080p60 by default

what you can do is set your stream to x264 and a bitrate of 3000 (or what you normally use) and then set your recording quality to High or Indistinguishable with format of mp4 (or whatever you want) and encoder NVENC for that. Then set your replay buffer, you can control how much max memory it uses which is pretty useful.

 

[C-Dude]

There is no way you can encode twice on x264. The encoder is right below the encoding format. Which is right below the recording quality. Look at my screenshot.

 

[C-Dude]

if you want both then put it on same as stream then it will only encode once, the quality will probably be lower but its worth it because your CPU will be able to run at at least a reasonable speed. Do you have NVENC in advanced mode?

 

[C-Dude]

what GPU do you have?

 

[C-Dude]

*sigh* which one?

 

[C-Dude]

titan :P sorry i didnt know what u mean

have you updated your graphics drivers?

 

[C-Dude]

not recently but ya like a month or so ago

UPDATE THEM
