Question / Help Local recording cropped!

leviatan1 · Oct 21, 2013

Hello, I have read the guide for quality local recording videos, and i love the quality i get but, the problem is that every video gets "cropped". while i play i dont have freeze or anithing but the output video, has "pauses" and loss of recorded time. Please help me, if my CPU is not strong enough i may buy a new one.

Here is one video:

Do you mean "pauses"? Cropping means something else entirely, and I'm seeing pauses.

The pauses are not due to insufficient CPU, your CPU is fine. The pauses are due to the fact that you're encoding 1080p with the "fast" x264 cpu preset. 1080p alone is enough to stress most machines, but 1080p with the "fast" preset will definitely cause this to occur, because there are almost no computers that could keep up with that.

Set the preset back to "veryfast". If you still have this problem, then I might also recommend using some downscale.

dodgepong · Oct 21, 2013

Also bump your FPS back down to 30, if you're going to record in 1080p. That will give you a bit more performance as well.

leviatan1 · Oct 21, 2013

Well guys i just love you, thanks seting the preset to veryfast went OK. thanks guys!!!
