Question / Help Screen Tearing in recording, but none while I play?

[MellowPanda]

Hi, When I record a game with OBS (Using game capture source) the game looks great, but then when I rewatch the video, everything is fine, except there is screen tearing. It isn't major, but it's still an issue. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Looks like a problem with your media player, not OBS.
As far as I know it's impossible to record screen tearing because it's a physical problem of the monitor sync.

Try watching your videos with VLC and report back and upload a sample video.

Nevermind, I made a small change to my bitrate, and it's fixed now. Might just have been a one-time thing.
