When I record GTA IV and I am playing the game it is fine. But after I finish recording and then preview what I just recorded in my mp4 player it lags. The video is chopping a lot and it wasn't like this before. I don't know if it has something to do with my drivers or my OBS settings or what.

Here is the logs

Can someone tell me how to fix this issue? That would be great!

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...

It's asking me to request access. A Google account should not be required to view logs so use the process mentioned in the link.
 
1. Record to MKV
2. The encoder is skipping frames because of CPU overload. Read https://obsproject.com/wiki/General-Performance-and-Encoding-Issues
3. Run OBS as Admin
4. Your GPU is maxed out and OBS can't render scenes fast enough. Running a game without vertical sync or a frame rate limiter will frequently cause performance issues with OBS because your GPU will be maxed out. OBS requires a little GPU to render your scene.

Enable Vsync or set a reasonable frame rate limit that your GPU can handle without hitting 100% usage.

If that's not enough you may also need to turn down some of the video quality options in the game. If you are experiencing issues in general while using OBS, your GPU may be overloaded for the settings you are trying to use.
See https://obsproject.com/wiki/GPU-overload-issues
5. Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene.
6. Multiple Game Capture sources are usually not needed, and can sometimes interfere with each other. You can use the same Game Capture for all your games! If you change games often, try out the hotkey mode, which lets you press a key to select your active game. If you play games in fullscreen, use 'Capture any fullscreen application' mode.

If still having issues after making those changes, use the Log Analyzer or post new log.
