Question / Help Local recording issue

I have been reading and experimenting for day trying to get my recordings to look good and be smooth. I have been reading on bitrates and so on and nothing has worked. What do I need to do to get some help? I figured I would just ask rather than giving the info piece by piece. I saw someone mention a log file which I assume would give all this info. I see it listed under the help drop down but I am unsure what the best way to to it is. I have experimented with bitrates from 1000 to 6500 and buffer sizes from 0 to 100000 and everything between. No resolution downscaling and I play on a monitor that is 2560x1440 resolution. I am also using a separate hard drive for recording so there is no issue with having the os on the same drive.

Right now the issue I am having is that the video locks up for about a half second every 3 seconds or so.
 
I actually got the stalling issue to stop for the most part by upping the bitrate to 7000 but with all the talk I see isn't that a pretty high bitrate? The picture also seems to be much lower resolution than what I am actually playing. I would be happy with it just looking like 1080 and not a 600x400 stretched out to fill the screen.

your CPU is probably not fast enough to support 1440p encoding.

post a link to your most recent logfile here where you recorded for a few minutes.

yeah 1440p60 would even be taxing for my intel hexcore at 4.5GHz.

if you really have to have that resolution your filesizes will be huge, but it could be possible:

1. change preset to superfast or ultrafast
2. change buffer to 0
3. uncheck CBR

record to a location that you have plenty of space. If still having trouble, post a new logfile with the changes and maybe consider dropping the fps or downscaling the resolution.
 
when downscaling the resolution the picture is just zoomed in and doesn't get the whole screen. is there a way to stop this?

downscaling doesn't work like that when base resolution is set properly, downscaling just scales down the resolution.

If you set a new base resolution and your game capture sources were not set to "fit to screen" then yes, that could happen where it would look zoomed in.
