Hello! I plan on doing a "Lets Play!" series for a game. However the OBS recording system seems to stop recording video within 5 seconds and stop recording all together at EXACTLY 10 seconds each time.

Any help please? I have no idea what's going on.

Error report: http://pastebin.com/2NyMyzLN

EDIT: Wrong report ^.^;;
EDIT2: That last recording got to 11 seconds! *whoo!*

Er, your system is also really choking on your settings. Your CPU is very underpowered, you'll need to downscale a LOT more. Currently almost 90% of frames that need to be encoded are just being skipped because your system is taking too long to process them.

Ok, now how do I downscale?

Your "Base" resolution is the size of your "canvas" area, so to speak. It's the size of the area where you put things to be laid out.

Then, after everything is laid out, it is downscaled by however much you want. It makes the output resolution as a whole smaller, to put less strain on your computer.

Makes sense.

Even after downscaling so much, you're still skipping over 50% of your frames. I think your hardware may just be too weak in order to handle what you're asking it to do. Real time encoding is incredibly system intensive, and is generally reserved for high end hardware for a reason.

The last thing you can try doing is setting your x264 preset in advanced to "Ultrafast"
