Question / Help High Encoding with low CPU usage (27% during stream)

I streamed for about 3 hours and in the last 30 minutes I started getting High Encoding errors. I verified that no programs were running in the background (AV scan, etc.) and that my CPU was not being maxed out by something random. I'm not sure what could be causing it after giving my log a quick look through, but I did note that some plugin dlls weren't loading. I'm on a fresh install of Windows 10 (upgrade from stable 8.1) and I've been using OBS Studio without problems for about 2 months, until now. If anyone could offer some help and/or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't tried streaming again yet (I will after work tonight at midnight PST) but your solution seems very unlikely to help. The DirectX 9 installer said that I already have a newer version and then closed without making any changes, and I did a repair with the C++ 2013 installer. Your next recommendation (reinstall Windows) is not a solution to the problem, it is the easy way out which isn't really easy. A fresh install will come along with its own issues, least of all being that I have to reinstall literally every piece of software on my system and redo all my settings. You mentioned that I have multiple errors and I'm more inclined to fix those than to just reinstall Windows. Even if you don't have solutions to those errors, could you at least tell me what the errors are and possibly a bit about what they mean? That will at least give me something I can research for myself. Either way, I'll update the post after I stream tonight and include new logs if there is no improvement.
 
im not able to tell you anything more than google about these direct show errors. from my personal experience upgraded windows likes to throw strange errors in strange places that arent easily - if at all fixable - clean install may seem like nooby solution but it may be faster than wasting hours to read whole internet - your choice

back to encoder - you seem to use 1080p display but your base-canvas resolution is 720p, thats why obs yells about bad scale. set it to 1080 and check then again. disable scaling on output tab if you have it enabled there

from what i have seen on forums i420 cam format likes to cause problems also, MJPEG may help
maybe reinstall cam driver?

OK, so I streamed and it went fairly smoothly. I'm still interested in resolving the dll errors. Funny thing though, the dlls are all right where they're supposed to be. Any ideas?
 
coreaudio - download Apple iTunes installer, but do not run it. Extract the archive with winrar or 7zip and run both 32bit and 64bit installers called AppleApplicationSupport.msi
remaining four were always mystery to me also, Id like to know it too, never seen these errors on my pc ^^ is it same when you run 64bit exe?
