How do I get this and how do I install it?

here is what you do:
1. find the actual name for the GPU installed in your computer. (device manager -> display adapters = name of gpu)
2. look up the codename for your specific GPU in this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units
3. look up that codename in this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_NVENC

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...
