Hello Folks,
im a longtime Youtuber/Streamer and found the perfect Settings for my PC. Now my Girlfriend started her own Youtube Lets Play Channel.
Up till now she records with Elgato Gaming Capture.
In Future she wants to Record and Stream too.
With Console Games no problem, just Recording and Streaming with the Elgato.
But when we play something like Left 4 Dead 2 on PC/MAC, she cannot record or Stream with OBS.
We tried so many different Settings from Resolution up and Down, Setting the Bitrate High and Low. And so on. The Record will always be a bit laggy.
Somehow i wonder, why can Elgato record and Stream in 1080p good Bitrate without being laggy, and OBS cannot.
Her Mac is from 2010 so it isnt a Strong one anymore i know that :) we pumped up the Ram to 16GB. So sure the Mac isnt suited for Recording or Streaming, thats the easy answer. My problem still is why is it working with Elgato o.O. I mean sure elgato does a lot of work so the CPU wont be touched. But while Streaming, Recording with OBS the CPU isnt higher than 20-30%. But is still lagging.
We already tried going from x264 to Apple Encoder did not do any difference. We also tried to record to a Server and an External HDD still lagging.
I will insert the logs maybe you can tell me why the OBS recording is lagging and the Elgato Recording is not. And what we could do about it :D
thank you very much :)
