Help with diagnosis, choppy footage

[TheManaDork]

Disclaimer..I am not overly familiar with technical terms...

Recently had to factory reset my computer, redownloaded obs, since then my screen recordings have been choppy, what setting/tweak am I overlooking?

Computer is running Windows 11, display set to 60hz
Software I am recording (MTG Arena) is set to it's lowest resolution setting (1366x768) and FPS limit of 60
Pics of my OBS settings attached. Log from that recording is at https://obsproject.com/logs/8OJwxZ8PFnPwKfOd

Thanks for any insight you may have!

Your report does not contain a recording session. You should switch to Intel Quick Sync video encoder. You can also change the resolution to 1920x1080 60 or 30 fps

Any recording I try to attach, I get a message that file is too big (unless 15 seconds is still to large?). I do not have that resolution as an option either in OBS or Arena. I will look into the quicksync, but this was not something I encountered before when I set up OBS and recorded successfully, so I'm not sure that it's an issue now...howeer, I will look into that
