Bug Report RECORDED VIDEO ALWAYS LAGGY

[Michaellg]

EVERY single video from anything I am trying to do, the preview look ok, but the result as mp4 is not even something I can watch, because it is so laggy it look like there is only a few pictures ! OBS studio windows 10, latest video driver and in background is probably running shadowplay.
my specs : i5-4690k oc to 4.4ghz
RAID 0 : ssd 850evo 250gb * 2. WESTHERN DG BLUE 1TB *3
Windows 10 x64 all updated.
MSI GTX 780 TI 3G 3GB Twinf
16gb ram 1600mhz or 1300

ok now working with cbr 50 000.

Try with downscaling your output to 1280*720p with 2000 bitrate
And use x264 encoder instead of quicksync.
Quicksync 4000kbps = x264 2500kbps

welll right now the only problem is the file size is so hugee. 822mb for 2min20

set resolution to 720p and lower bitrate if you want

If I understand correctly, you are recording, not streaming right?
In that case, quicksync is the right choice, as you can simply increase the bitrate if needed. You might want to follow our guide on high quality recordings:
https://obsproject.com/forum/resour...lity-recording-and-multiple-audio-tracks.221/
QuickSync

• Target Usage: quality (lower to balanced or speed if you encounter problems)
• Profile: high
• Rate Control: CQP / ICQ or LA_ICQ
• on CQP: QPI/QPP/QPB: 15-25
• on ICQ: ICQ Quality: 15-25
• on LA_ICQ: ICQ Quality: 15-25, Lookahead Depth: 40-50

If you keep having problems, post a log file, that will give us more info on why its lagging for example. Downscaling might not be necessary, but that depends on your Hardware setup, without a log I cannot say it for sure.
