Help with resolutions in OBS.

[NickArr0w]

Hi!

I want to stream PS2 games to Twitch via OBS. I'm using 2 composite cables. One from the the PS2 to the CRT and the other one from CRT to the Framemeister. HDMI Out from the Framemeister goes to Elgato HD60S who then goes into my laptop.
My recommended resolution for the laptop is 2560:1600.
On the HDMI Output for the Framemeister is set to 1080_60p. The aspect ractio is set to 4:3.
The Elgato HD60S resolution is set to 720x480.
The thing is that the screen in the OBS looks very weird.
I'm not sure what resolution I should set for the canvas and the output.

Here is an example how my videos looks when streamed to Twitch.

I think had the canvas resolution 1440x1080 and the output set to 960x720.

I think the screen looks pretty tiny. I would like to have the screen more like this which looks a bit bigger.
Or is this simply as big I can get with composite and 4:3 aspect ratio?

My reference how I wish it would look:

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

On his video the aspect ratio is set to 4:3, right? But he also has a lot of space at the corner of the screen.

Any help and support is much appreciated!
Thanks!

Your ps2 source (the one that comes from the Elgato capture device) is 4:3 ratio, and you want to stream to Twitch with 1920x1080 or 1280x720, which is a 16:9 aspect ratio. So set the canvas and output size to some 16:9 aspect ratio resolution, i. e. 1920x1080 or 1280x720.
Insert your capture source as 4:3 source somewhere on the canvas (don't "fit" it, only resize to keep its ratio of 4:3) , so you have space to the left or to the right, where you place additional information like your webcam.

Hi Koala!

I did what you told me and I think it's worked and it now looks like I kind of wanted it.
I think I got a correct aspect ratio by 4:3, here. Didn't know that the way to succes in this case was to use 1920x1080.
Thanks a lot!

Here is the result!

Looks good, circles are circles again and no ellipses.
