Question / Help Recordings still pixelated, despite my best efforts.

I've tried playing with the presets, switching from very & ultrafast.
Also tried lowering my FPS down from 60 to 30 and tested out all 3 filters.

As you can see from the screenshots below, it's not that bad, and I'm probably just being really anal. But I wanna try for a smoother looking recording one more time. Any advice? (log attached)

If you are just doing local recording and not streaming. set preset to superfast, leave fps at 60, set buffer (not bitrate) to 0, uncheck CBR, set filter to bilinear, quality balance to 10.

then in the properties of your window capture enable point filtering.

record again..

again, this is NOT FOR STREAMING, just local recording.
 
After some more fiddling with the help of the guide linked and your advice (dping), I finally got a clean lookin recording!

Unfortunately to get the quality I wanted, I had to set my CRF to 0. And anything recorded with that setting causes my media player to break. (A common issue for others, I've found.) Video-hosting sites also won't accept those files, either in .mp4 or .flv (which is the only player that will play the recordings at all).

I got the quality I was looking for, but I can't really use it for anything.
I'm still grateful for the advice, thank you for your time! :)

Post a new log. I think you did something wrong. no one should ever need CRF 0.
