Question / Help OBS Recording jittering and stuttering in Video.

[Alph4Bird]

I was recording some Minecraft and got some pretty good footage when I realised that every few second the recording would jitter and stutter. I notice that it happens especially when I flick my mouse in Minecraft or do very fast movements with the camera.
I'm recording in Display Capture (since when I rec with Game Capture the output is a black screen) and recording at 57 FPS. (When I record at 59.94 fps the recording turns out very choppy with screen tearing and stuttering.) Also forgot to mentions that my game's fps is fine, ranging from 60-90 fps and sometimes 100.

I might upload a 1 minute video to Youtube showing the jittering, but for now I'm going to list a log file.
Things I've tried to fix this problem:
Lowering the FPS (didn't help.)
Capping Minecraft's fps (Didn't help.)

Your CPU is trying its best, but it's not capable of what you want to do. 2-cores, at 2.0ghz, with 4gb of ram (which has a portion allocated for use as vram), on a game that is highly CPU intensive... even though the iGPU is "separate", it's having to use shared resources.

I'd recommend just recording at 30fps.

My CPU is actually capable of going up to 2.7 GHZ, but thanks for the advice. I'll try recording at 30 fps and see if it still jitters or lags. If it does I'll upload a video to Youtube to show an example.
