So i am trying out the whole Youtube thing to see if its something i would be interested in doing on the games i play, my first recording i was having issue with using game capture mode, it would only record the audio, so i played around with it and found that i can open the game in window mode and start the recording, then alt enter to full screen it again. The game was lagging a lot and the quality once i published it was very low.. so i asked for some help, think i have the quality thing figured out as it was recording at 2000, but now after seeing my core % in while recording my 2nd video i found that im bouncing around 90-100% on the first 3 cores of my i5 3570k and core 4 is just sitting at 1%....i thought my computer had plenty of power to do recording of game play like this...
Question / Help Is OBS suppose to load the CPU down this much?

Post a logfile. We really do need it to be able to help.
Alternately, read through the HQ Local Recordings Guide:

Well, a few things.
First, you're running MP/Studio. This forum is for Classic.
Second, running multiple copies of OBS to record at a different local rate is only needed on Classic; MP/Studio can record locally at a different rate than it streams out on just one instance.
Third, set your local recording encoder preset to Ultrafast, with a buffer of 0. Streaming side should stay the same on veryfast with a matched bitrate and buffer.

Ferretbomb, i tried both versions, because someone mentioned to me that the newer studio version still has some bugs that are not 100% worked out, so i went back to classic to try it out, i recorded another video today with the classic version, the latest changes to the settings with ultrafast and buffer of 0 still shows nearly constant 100% load on the CPU, but the recording came out pretty tits, the game didnt have any noticable lag this time, but there were no huge action scenes this recording, so the next video will have the day 35 horde night, so i should get to compare it to previous video lag session.
