I have an Alienware 17.3 with 90G SSD, terrabyte harddrive, 8G RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M graphics card, and Intel HD graphics 530. I was wondering what the optimal recording settings were because of been having a lot of trouble with either lag in the application, or choppy recordings.

Use MPC-HC or VLC to play the file back. Don't record to MP4, if OBS crashes or is otherwise interrupted the recording will be lost. If you require the MP4 container format, record to FLV or MKV and then use File > Remux afterwards.

Is there a reason that windows media player couldn't hear the audio in the mp4 but vlc could? Also good job on the quick response time

Once I switched to VLC, I could hear the audio fine. But when I put the video in Windows Movie Maker to edit it, (i use movie maker because more complex editing programs confuse me) movie maker didn't have any audio either. If I were to do what you said and save the original recorded file as a type like FLV and then convert it to mp4, would movie maker recognize the audio?

Movie maker has the same terrible codec support that WMP/"TV and Movies" does. Use another NLE suite. The audio format will be the same even if it is remuxed later.
