Question / Help no-fastpskip

Does anyone have any info on this X264 option? How does it affect video quality? Do I need no-fastpskip=true or something else to enable this feature?

Thanks,

Your source content isn't comparable, one level has much more motion than the other (more background movement with lightning, falling rain, etc.). Posting single frame comparisons also isn't useful unless the encoded content is identical, and even then encoded output is about how things look in motion, not in individual frames.

yea, it will be hard getting direct comparisons, but overall, to my eyes, it looks better. If you come at it from a qualitative standpoint, what would you say? I think there are less blocks and less sharp edges.
 
Its actually quite simple, record at highest quality, a video of 5 minutes with a bit of different content, then record this with OBS using fastpskip and nofastpskip and normal settings. And you have two comparable videos :)
 
Another option for recording comparable videos is recording a SC2 replay, or the Heaven benchmark, or F.E.A.R.'s built-in benchmark tool, or something similar.
 
Excuse me for barging in, but I can't actually find anything about an option called fast-pskip. I can only find no-fast-pskip, which by default isn't set. Does no-fast-pskip=1 do anything?

EDIT: Excuse me, I found it here. Was a bit difficult to find, though. I expected to find it in the other documentations linked in this topic as well.
 
I stumbled across this a few months ago but haven't checked it out (been leveling in ESO, which I think is too boring to stream, but now I'm nearly to the point where I can start PvPing). What is the actual command to do this in OBS? I tried last week but I got the command wrong and OBS ignored that custom x264 entry.

Also, for my information, the double (or triple?) negative has got me confused. Is the objective here to turn on "fast p skipping" or turn it off? Either way I plan to "do it" and measure the performance and quality to make my own determination of whether to use it or not, but I'm curious.
