Question / Help Recorded Gameplay through OBS Skipping

[aron_james]

Hi,

I am trying to use OBS to join my webcam and elgato game capture together when I record footage on my laptop. Everything is fine until I play back the mp4 and the footage starts to skip. It seems like the audio is fine for the most part, only the video is skipping. I posted a sample on my YouTube channel so you can see what the skipping looks like if you need to. I am not sure what I need to do at this point. Let me know if you need any other information.

We need the OBS log before we need the sample video.

When I analyze, it takes me to this page.

we don't need the analyzer results.

15:24:56: Total frames encoded: 30665, total frames duplicated: 5729 (18.68%)
15:24:56: Number of frames skipped due to encoder lag: 3447 (11.24%)
15:24:56: Total frames rendered: 27015, number of late frames: 372 (1.38%) (it's okay for some frames to be late)

If you're recording, you're better off using crf-based bitrate control, and you're probably overall better off using OBS Studio for recording as it has recording presets in simple output mode that will work better for what you're doing.
