Hi, so I have been struggling with recording software's lately while trying to capture footage. On most games I play on a resolution of 1280x1024 and I'll always get black bars on the sides in the video output not matter what. I play my games with the resolution stretched, and I have the Base Resolution and Downscale set to 1920x1080 (16:9). I was wondering if there was a workaround to removing black bars without using a 16:9 resolution. I know the obvious solution is to play in 16:9, but I'd much rather not if I don't have to. Thank you for your time.

stretch the video. that's the best you can do. stretch out your game capture to the edges of your 1920x1080 canvas by holding ctrl and dragging a corner.

I've tried this before. It looks fine while recording, but when I look at the file afterwards it always has black bars.

I play the file in windows media player, or VLC media player, and I edit it and render it with windows movie maker. I'm not sure what you mean by a log.

Since u use a different aspect then the standard frame this will happen. Only solution is go morph or remove top and bottom from the video... you dont want that..

so it isnt possible? I know pro players in counter strike who stream with an ingame res of 1024x768 without black bars. I believe there's another way.

"Manually set your OBS workspace (Settings->Video->Custom) to one of those 16:9 resolutions (I would advise 1920x1080) and use downscale from there. You'll then be sending the 16:9 that Twitch expects/demands/auto-letterboxes when it receives anything else. You can then stretch the game (if you don't care about maintaining correct aspect ratio; use SHIFT when resizing from a corner-box to go into non-AR-locked mode) or move it around in the viewing pane and be able to see on your preview what your viewers will see on Twitch.
You can then use the Downscale option as-normal to downscale to 720p."
