what are the best setting for recording to be used on a RoKu channel. I always have to edit the video and make sure that it is a H264 1220x720 ACC format.

Overscan by 10px each side, but not top and bottom? Can't say I've heard of that, but whatever.
Did you also mean AAC-encoded sound? h.264 picture with aac sound is very common. OBS does that natively; in fact, I'm pretty sure it's the default.
And didn't you just answer your own question? Or are you looking for the "right" quality settings within that format, of which there probably aren't any? Just play with it until you get something that it'll accept and looks good.
It'll probably accept a wide range, so it's more about looking good while not saturating your connection. Do they have a recommendation somewhere? I'd start with that...

Unfortunately, I don't think you've posted enough to actually provide a useful answer.
Depends on what you mean by 'Roku channel'.
- If a streaming provider, then that provider (not Roku) will determine video format standards
- if putting video on LAN/USB, and playing video directly on Roku, that isn't a 'channel' as commonly referred to. Further, some Roku devices are capable of 4K... Presuming modern 1080p, then widescreen 1080p, then 4K (2160 lines/rows, ie 2X 1080p, but called 4K for marketing reasons, breaking with decades of historical precedent, but I digress)
so ... (like many relatively new tech type things)... it depends (as there isn't a single, simple answer). sorry
As Aaron alludes to - H.264 standard TV aspect ratio/pixel count is different from what you listed. Not sure where you got that from???
Further, H.264 is a lowest common denominator (ie old), as the subsequent revision H.265 is a licensing mess, especially for free streaming platforms like YouTube, FaceBook, Twitch, etc (which therefore avoid H.265 source material, especially stream input). However, a true broadcast channel may well prefer H.265. The latest mass-market encoding format is AV1, which is intended to replace H.264 & H.265. However, in order to achieve its bandwidth savings (ie smaller recorded video file size) means FAR more computation up-front, and consumer grade real-time encoding hardware has JUST been released (ie.. bleeding edge).
So encoding format, depends on where and how you are sending the video? as a real-time Stream? or creating (Recording) local video file, and uploading/storing that someplace? There can easily be a difference in encoding recommendations between Recording and Streaming (depending on platform).
Best settings will more likely depend on what you Recording/Streaming hardware is capable of vs max possible settings your provider can accept.
