Question / Help [Recording] OBS dropping frames when bitrate is <30000

[Zipur]

I record in 1440p 60 fps, in 30000 bitrate. If I reduce the bitrate, the recording will go to something like 30 fps. It still says the video is 60 fps if you look at the stats, but it is much less than that.

The recordings are getting too large of a file size to be played in 1440p on youtube. IF you know any bitrate/resolution I can record with for high quality on youtube please tell.

Use CRF or CQP for recording, not a static bitrate with CBR. You're not letting OBS decide when it needs a high bitrate and when it doesn't. This is appropriate for streaming, but not for recording.

Start with the simple settings and adjust as needed for your machine and use case.
