It looks to me that stream looks better when I up GOP by a lot, like over 200, when its set to 96 there is more "grain", that may be true?
OBS branch with AMD VCE support.

Yes, the higher the IDR the more time that P frames have and the less "refreshes" which dont look good at lower bitrate.
I have found if you leave IDR at 2xfps (recommended by twitch) and drop the Max QP down to 41, IDR refreshes look better. Keep GOP as high as you can as well (96)
It might look better, but when someone watches your stream, it will take a while to see video, that and syncing can have issues if lost packets.
EDIT: also, lower max QP is a better chance of skipping frames or even peak bitrate will spike during high movement. but 41 should be fine at most 2000-3500 bitrates
Hi, i streaming cs:go on twitch and after 2 hours~ of streaming OBS crashes (Using Amd vce)
The game and streaming works really smooth but this is the problem
Obs settings:
Codec Amd vce
Use OpenCL and AMF activated
Fps: 30
Bitrate: 1100
Resolution 1280x720 rescaled to 1024x576
Advanced: Default optimized to twitch
My pc:

Anyone know if it's actually possible to record DayZ with this?
Normal OBS has no issue recording DayZ (I think you need anti-cheat hooking enabled on it, though). However, no matter what I do, it looks like I just can't record DayZ with this branch of OBS. Battleye blocks the hook, whether I use anti-cheat or not and monitor capture (window capture doesn't detect it when in full screen) is just super laggy when it comes to DayZ for some reason.
My PC specs are as follows (and games that use the GPU and CPU far more heavily for DayZ are fine with monitor capture, may I add):
AMD FX 8350 - CPU OC'd to ~4.9GHz, NB OC'd ~2.5GHz, HT Link OC'd to ~2.9GHz
Asus Sabertooth 990FX
AMD Radeon R9 390 Nitro Tri-X (I'm bothered by the fact that the 380 has VCE 1.2, but the 390 has 1.1, but obviously that's an issue with AMD)
16GB DDR3 Ram (OC'd from 1333mhz to ~1800mhz)
Everything is completely stable and runs under Prime 95 using Blend and Small FFT tests for prolonged periods of time without ever getting to unsafe/throttling temperatures.
I've not tested other anti-cheat heavy games with VCE yet and will do so as soon as I have the time, but DayZ is my main game and I'd really like a solution as VCE is obviously a much better option for recording DayZ than standard OBS as DayZ barely touches my GPU. I'm using the quality pre-set, if that helps anything.
EDIT: Retried it today and Monitor Capture vs Not capturing is exactly the same frame rate now... So yeah.
Also, as a side, is this ever going to be incorporated into the main branch of OBS? It seems to work perfectly fine except for some anti-cheat issues, and if was a part of the main branch, that probably would not be an issue at all.

make sure you follow the instructions on the front page. I personally would start over and read what I quoted above. It will be worth the extra time taken. make sure you do a DDU wipe of your current drivers and maybe install an older version? I have 0 issues with 15.7 as long as OpenCL to NV12 is not checked.
It probably will not be merged due to OBS MP coming into play soon. as for your dayz issue, this might be because it is a fork of the main OBS. @jackun, can you verify that your graphics(game) capture hook dll is updated to the newest version and matches OBS? this might be the app is not detecting it as OBS.
raptr probably uses speed preset with higher bitrate from what I understand from other that use it.
might try host mode and disable d3d interop and see if it still crashes. Says in the log that settings to high. Can you screenshot current settings?

I tried to disable d3d interop, but this popup appeared: http://i.imgur.com/wj1eUpg.png
When I click OK it closes OBS.
Set IDR to 30, 20 seems wrong for some reason. just try host with interop enabled and see how that works. I dont use replay buffer so I'm not sure how that will turn out. I was just thinking that it would be better to use host since that stores in RAM instead of video buffer. since its is ram and that is also where replay buffer is stored.

Good time to test the theory: copy DLLs from original OBS' plugins\GraphicsCapture folder and then try again.
@DJArroba Try the latest build.

I've been playing CS:GO for a bit over an hour with this new build and these settings: http://i.imgur.com/KEWDqE5.png
It hasn't crashed yet :)
