Question / Help Recording at 1k FPS and >20 MB/s bitrate

[aumars]

I'm currently in the midst of digitising my VHS cassettes with OBS Studio. I've set the Video Capture Device to 25 FPS but it still records at 1000 FPS taking up horrendous amounts of disk space. I've also set the FPS in Settings > Video.

I've also set the Video Encoder Settings in Advanced (Video) as -r 25 -b:v 2M but it still doesn't work.

$ ffmpeg -i 2018-02-27\ 12-20-54.mkv

I know I can re-encode the video and set the FPS to 25 but is there a more permanent solution to this?

Looking the logs seems like you might want to play with the settings
Might want to look at Settings > Video

It is not actually recording at 1k fps, the recording itself is 30fps.
