Question / Help How Can I Fix My Settings?

[MagicalFishy]

Alright, so I've been messing with the settings all day long trying to be able to record in high quality (both audio and video) and I just haven't been able to hit the sweet spot that I'm looking for. At the current moment my audio is only coming out of my left headphone and is lower quality than what I get through Audacity. I am also getting some blur on the game capture as well. Finally, I'm recording a window which is displaying my DSLR camera (my facecam) which happens to also be lower quality than it should be. (Camera quality settings are maxed.)

Here's my log file, tell me what you think. All suggestions are highly appreciated. Just to recap, I'd like to record at the best possible quality without going overboard.

First of all, don't use the OpenGL renderer. Anyways, use the Quick Sync encoder. It is another hardware encoder but on a 6th Generation Intel CPU like yours, quality is MUCH better than AMD or NVENC (it's actually pretty close to x264) and it still gives you a nice performance boost over x264.

For encoder settings, use these settings:
Target Usage: quality
Profile: high
Rate Control: CQP
- Change all the CQP values to anywhere between 15 - 20 (lower is better quality but bigger file size)
- I use 18 but feel free to use a lower value if you need better quality

Leave everything else default.

Thank you, this definitely helped! (:
