Question / Help OBS Settting Dubble check (solved)

[t8z5h3]

i pulled my log from when i start a stream and i want to know if there is any thing i can do the make the quality better, the stream goes a bit fuzzy/pixelated when i am moving Twitch says everything is excellent and i not dropping frames ether... i Broadcast to www.twitch.tv/t8z5h3 and there should be a archive of video's
and ideas or thoughts about setting would be good and tested thanks.

The nvenc is actually more meant for recording at high quality or streaming over a local network at high bitrates. You probably see the pixelation because of this.
Switching to the x264 encoder would definitely increase the quality. But you will have to test that performance wise. It might be too much for your CPU.

anything else?

 

[Jack0r]

You could downscale to 720p to increase the quality a bit further. (Notice, overall quality will increase, text might look partially less good because of the smaller resolution)
Bitrate wise you are set to the maximum recommended, so I would keep it that or lower it, but definitely not increase it.

thank you so much,
another question will moving to 64 bit help to?

 

[Jack0r]

The difference between encoding in the 32 or 64 bit version is very small actually. Normally below a few percent. It doesnt hurt either (unless you use a webcam or capture card that has no 64bit drivers).

thanks for your support is there a way to fix my logs showing that my mic is out of sync?

 

[Sapiens]

Try setting your scene buffering time from 400 to 700, which is the new default anyway.

Assuming your mic sync is fixed, you are good to go :)

how do i fix the mic sync?

 

[Jack0r]

You tried sapiens suggestion yet but still have the sync messages in your log?
Is the mic definitely not in sync on stream as well? The message itself does not necessarily mean that its noticeable.

i think it's jest the log... so i won't worry about it at most it's like 0.75 or os.

 

[Jack0r]

Yup, that should be fine then, thanks for reporting back :)
I will mark the thread as solved, if you have further questions or problems, just start a new one!
