Check out the youtube streaming guide here: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/streaming-to-youtube-gaming-with-obs-or-obs-studio.232/

And the youtube encoder settings recommendations here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2853702?hl=en

Also, set your scaled resolution to 1280x720, as that is the generally accepted 720p resolution.

I'm not trying to livestream. I'm trying to record videos. But the videos comes out distorted. Kind of. It's not clear. My CPU can handle streaming no problem, so videos shouldn't be a problem either. And really not for wow. Can someone please give me the optimal settings for a beatiful 720p 60fps recording settings?

Simple output mode
Indistinguishable quality
software low cpu use encoder.

 

[Tereith2050]

what?

 

[Harold]

Go into settings -> output
Change the mode at the top to simple
Recording quality to "Indistinguishable"
Encoder to "Software (x264 low cpu usage preset)"

Leave the format at flv.

 

[Tereith2050]

will try that. Thanks

How much bandwitch?

If you're using "Indistinguishable quality" for local recordings, the streaming bitrate option is ignored (when recording locally).

 

[Tereith2050]

Hmm. It says i'm using too much. It comes out really low fps/ Laggy. Too hard in my cpu apparently... Man this is annoying.

 

[dodgepong]

Please post a log. https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/please-post-a-log-with-your-issue-heres-how.23074/

What do you mean "it says I'm using too much"? What says you're using too much, and what does it say you are using too much of?

 

[Tereith2050]

This was just a fast recording i did. I used a lot of different settings - restarted my pc twice because it now feels slow. And i changed my settings. OBS seems to be a lot harder for recording than streaming, as i handle streaming just fine. Recording comes out ugly and not nice.

The examples in that log where you were using the preset look mostly good, though you shouldn't be using 41 FPS. The last one, which was for streaming, looks like it was performing pretty badly.

Also, if you're simultaneously recording and streaming at 2 different qualities, you have to understand that you're running 2 simultaneous video encoders, which is an immense load on your system.

 

[MARSTG]

But why are you recording and streaming in the same time? Can't you just record and process after?

 

[dodgepong]

Because streaming is often done at reduced quality in order to fit into a reasonable bandwidth for internet transmission.

I tried all these settings and I got 360p.

RIP, I want to also do 720p on OBS and im trying out what harold said which is make the recording quality indistuguisable.

 

[Aertew]

I tried all these settings and I got 360p.

I also get 360p and I dont know why.

 

[Harold]

you get 360p where?

 

[Aertew]

you get 360p where?

When I try recording by default, I think I used to get 480p now 360p... dunno why.. I try to record videos in 720p but the game stutters and lags alot, i lowered the recording FPS from 60 to 30 so mabye that'll help, and I do have a pretty old CPU so mabye that's it too.
