In your log, you're recording CBR, to MP4. Don't.

Use MKV, which is a recording-safe format. MP4, if ANYTHING goes wrong FOR ANY REASON, the entire recording will be lost and 100% unrecoverable.

Use CQP. 22 is a good place to start. 16 is visually lossless, but will eat a TON of hard drive space. 12 should only be used if you plan to edit the video and re-encode it later, to help minimize artifacting, and will eat even MORE space to a pretty crazy degree. Below 12 should not be used without a VERY specific reason, and several terabytes free per half-hour of recording.

Recording above 60fps is not a supported use-case with OBS. It may work, but if it breaks you're on your own. It also will greatly increase the amount of bitrate/drive space needed for the recording.

The reason for mp4 is due to me having to edit it with sony vegas e.t.c (prepared to take the risk of loosing it e.t.c)

New settings according to your guide: https://gyazo.com/10e3ef21fb503a0945ac8c71de3340d4

I cant help to kinda see the same result here. Still kinda blurry aint it?
 
Post a logfile from the recording. Per your screenshot, you're using CQP22 which is going to have some artifacting. Lower means closer to perfect. The CQP value is how far the encoder is allowed to deviate from 'perfect', uncompressed (huge filesize) frames. If you want it VERY clean, use 16. Or down to 12, but it will GOBBLE your hard drive at that level.

If you need MP4s for editing, go to OBS' File menu, Remux Recordings. As an added bonus, the remuxed files generally work better with editors; Premiere, Vegas, Resolve et al generally have issues with the native-recorded MP4 files that OBS produces, but the remuxed ones work flawlessly for scrubbing and precision cuts.

Will recording in mp4 have any effect on how it looks?
 
Record in MKV after stop recording you can remux MKV to MP4, this function is in File / Remux Recordings.
MKV and MP4 is the same inside (h.264) but the difference is in the way it is written to the disk.

But would that change the quality of the recording or is it just to be safe?
