Question / Help Recording Low Frames

[zadarkus]

Hi guys,
Ive been trying to record DMC, but the recording vídeo is shoppy and lags in some áreas (too much motion maybe).
The thing is that when im recording, in game i got no issues at all, the game runs smooth, only the recording itself has FPS drop issues. I already tried to adjust presets and quality but I really am stuck.

I am sure my computer can handle recording the game in high quality, and i wanted to keep the best quality possible since it is for youtube upload and I wish to have my vids on HQ/HD.

Also the vídeo never is really clean. here is a log of a test I ran:

Don't use Monitor Capture in the same scene. If you must use it for something out of game, put it in a separate scene and use the scene switcher plugin from the Plugins forum.

Also, consider enabling V-Sync, or otherwise limiting the game's framerate. OBS uses the GPU a fair amount, so you need to leave some room for it to work.
