Problems with Recording

[SwiftlyGaming]

So many people including me, Seem to have problems with recording right now but I have seem to fix it with these settings.

Important Settings - Output Settings -

Output Mode - Advanced -
1) Go to Streaming Settings 2) Settings - Encoder - x246 or You choice (haven't tested), Rate Control - CBR, Bitrate - Your Choice, Select 'Use Custom Buffer Size' then set it to your current bitrate, Keyframe - 2, CPU Preset - Your Choice then your done

Now to Recording Setting - Type - Standard, Recording Format, I prefer mp4, then for Encoder - Use Stream Encoder DONE! :D

Everything else You can choose on your liking

.flv format is actually better unless you don't mind losing your recorded footage if OBS or your PC crashes.

The one downside to .flv format is that it doesn't allow for multiple audio data streams.

JackOr has made an excellent guide for local recordings as a base template to start off with:
