Question / Help Motion Blur while looking around - Help please!

Hello,

Recently I tried recording DayZ with OBS, I have set up the quality and setting right ( I think ). When I record, the parts where I'm standing still look AMAZNING, great quality, yet when I move around or move the camera, the quality soon goes and bits like the HUD become very fuzzy/blurry.

I was wondering if this was something that anyone else experienced or if it's just a problem we have to put up with. Is there anything I can do to make it less noticable? I'm not complaining too much as after all OBS is incredible quality most of the time considering that it's free.

Thanks in advance for the help,

Max

Two things:
  • Could you please post in a normal font size? Posting in that font size is a purposeful act and I wonder why you would post in that size, it serves no purpose other than taking up excessive viewing space.
  • Please post a recent log of a troublesome session, so we can see in detail what's going on. http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=97

Sorry about the size, I made it big so people could see it well ;)

Please bear with me, I'm very new to this all...

I hope this is all the information you wanted, thanks for helping :)

If it's just for recording purposes, you could consider doing the following instead:
  • VBR Q-10
  • Bitrate: 1000 Kbps
  • Custom Buffer Size: 0
  • Advanced: Custom x264 Settings: tune=animation bframes=16 b-adapt=1
However, I would not recommend those settings for streaming. Just for local recording. Custom Buffer Size 0 will force the system into using however much it needs to meet the requested quality setting.

Thanks for the advice. I tried the things you listed and they completely eliminated the problem, the blur has gone and the quality is better than ever. The only downside to these changes are that now when I record, if there is a scene where something in the screen is moving quickly (or I look around quickly) a bit of lag appears as if the frames have dropped.

Is there a solution to this? Thank you VERY much for your help! :)

You're more than welcome, Max. Are you putting these up on Youtube or something? If so, no harm in sharing your channel with us. ;)
