Question / Help OBS Recorded video lags

[Kavinter]

Hello all, I tried recording videos via OBS, and while i record everything goes fine, no fps drops (fps is well over 60fps), but when video is recorded it is simply a large stutter. I was using OBS before but I cant remember what bitrate I used, and before videos worked like a charm. Now first video I recorded with 40k bitrate worked but it was stuttering after like 2 minutes in video. I now dropped it to 30k and now is even worse! Video is just frozen and audio is all working well.

My PC specs:
AMD Athlon X4 840 3.1ghz
RAM 4gb 1600mhz ddr3 DIMM
GPU MSI AMD RX 570 4gb
Resolution I am recording on 1280x1024(native resolution) 60fps, but I change it when editing to 720p.
I am for encoder using h264 (I have options for h265 and x264), recording format is mp4 and I am using CBR.
Please help this poor soul :)

Don't use CBR, that's for streaming.

Start by choosing Simple output mode, Indistinguishable quality, large file size.

If it still stutters, post a logfile from a complete recording session (recording started, problem observed, recording stopped, log uploaded.

I used VBR now and first i recorded a 5min video of Rocket League, everything went smooth so no problems there. BUT recording Mount and Blade Warband whole video is laggy (like its 10fps, not 400). Here is the log file:

For local recording, suggested rate control methods are CQP (for NVENC) and CRF (for x264). Not sure what it is under AMF, VBR might be the only option.

10:30:24.999: Output 'adv_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 1 (0.0%)
10:30:24.999: ==== Recording Stop ================================================
10:30:25.007: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 36/10380 (0.3%)

Not seeing any significant dropped frames there. but again, I'm not that familiar with AMF so for me there's less valuable information in the log entries there, as I don't use that encoder.

10:22:30.255: fps: 60/1
10:22:30.255: format: RGBA
10:22:30.255: YUV mode: None

You may want to check your video settings that they are correct.

Man this is all advanced to me, before I just see some recording settings for yt, put that and works like a charm. I saw that only in M&B Warband this occurs, not in other games. Other games are working smoothly
