I try to record rainbow six siege (local recording) for youtube, but every time I try, it keeps doing little freezes at the start, then just does big ones. The audio is fine but the videos sucks. No in game lag. I have tried every setting PLZ HELP it is annoying the **** out of me.

btw, changing bitrate does nothing since you have 0 buffer. anyway, change preset to superfast newer games have higher load than older ones so expect an i5 to max out on some games. in this case you just need to change preset. larger files but same quality.

There 5 minutes of gameplay well log or whatever. :)
Code:
16:08:17: FlushBufferedVideo: Flushing 11 packets over 333 ms
16:08:18: Total frames encoded: 9033, total frames duplicated: 917 (10.15%)

you have 10% duplciate frames, target should be no more than 1% so its either you have to much running or your game is taking up to much CPU for OBS to encode.


I'd either switch to a hardware encoder or raise your CRF, something like crf=20 and change your preset to x264 ultrafastfast

I think obs studio is working better since i can use the amd encoder thx for the help but more advice will be cool! :D

target around 720@30fps. I need a new log with the AMD hardware encoder under load for 5 minutes or more to give you better advise.
