Question / Help Poor (blurred) video quality in recording in comparison to the input.

[OBSuser1234]

Hello,

I am recording a 720p video being played on full screen (at 1366x768 resolution) in Google Chrome.

The recording is being done by using Window Capture (for the full screen video capture from Google Chrome) and Desktop Audio.

However, the recorded video is much blurred in comparison to the full screen video that's being recorded. For examples, the eyes and teeth of protagonist in the scene are visible in the full screen video when being in Google Chrome. But in the recorded file, protagonist's eyes and teeth are rarely visible... they're of the same colour as his skin due to the blur.

What can be the cause of this issue and how can it be resolved?

The logs are as follows:

Besides the settings pointed out by @Harold, others may also please ensure that Settings --> Video --> Downscale Filter is set to Bicubic instead of Bilinear.
