Question / Help Local recording video freezes but audio continues.

19:29:10.816: Windows Version: 10.0 Build 17134 (revision: 829; 64-bit)

Update Windows.

19:32:11.974: Output 'simple_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 111 (3.3%)

Rendering lag caused by GPU overload. You may be able to resolve this with the Windows update, as your version has a broken feature that can contribute to this issue.

19:32:11.975: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 355/3398 (10.4%)

Encoder overload; in your case, CPU overload.

Your machine is near the low end of OBS' minimum requirements.

I would suggest dropping to 30fps.
 
How I addressed this was to add a USB flash drive to my machine and set the recording path to that drive.

Read on for the details:

I have a fairly high end but older system that I added a 6TB drive into. I also have a NVidia 2060 super with video encoding. So CPU and encoding was not the issue.

I was trying to record a few things that were over 5 minutes long for a class but kept experiencing video freezes in my recordings. I followed the advice on changing priorities and running as administrator as well as lowing the quality but to no avail. Still saw the video freezing in the middle for a few seconds.

I guessed that the problem might be the system blocking writes to my hard drive, so I plugged in an USB drive and set the path to write to that drive. I have had success multiple times in a row with no stutter or video freezing.

I believe the trick is to save your recording to a drive that is not the same one on which you are running your OS.

Give this a try and if it works for you leave some positive feedback so others will know if they should also try it.
