OBS only saves video roughly half as long as recording time

[johnyac]

Hey everyone, I recorded a 6 hour video today of me producing music with a friend. Recording my Digital Audio Workstation Audio, screen, phone camera and a mic input too. I recorded for 6 hours and 30 mins but when I went to look at the footage, the videos were only 3 hours long, with one being only 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Here's a log file https://obsproject.com/logs/3wGs820BYN3tEiRa

If anyone has any idea on how to solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.

Sorry, I posted the wrong log file, the attached file is correct!

For your recording settings in both of your source record filters, you need to switch your rate control to CQP, with a CQP level of 14, and change the preset to P1

I've tried that and had exactly the same problem today unfortunately. I've now tried running as administrator to see if that helps.

Dial OBS back from 60 to 30FPS, your monitor is already there anyway.
2:27:10.903: name=ASUS VP28U
12:27:10.903: pos={0, 0}
12:27:10.903: size={3840, 2160}
12:27:10.903: attached=true
12:27:10.903: refresh=30

With a 3090 I'm able to encode (3) 2160p 30FPS streams concurrently using the settings below for all encoders. This leaves plenty of headroom on my rig but if you still encounter any encoding lag, change Mutipass Mode from qres to Single Pass.
