Question / Help Skipping Frames, but I was fine before
- Thread starter vGWicKeD
- Start date
OBS changed the way it handles late frames in 0.57. Before, it would lag the video when you were encoding too slow. Now, if it takes too long to encode a frame, it duplicates the last one so that it can get to the next frame in time.
If you're getting skipped frames now, it's because you had late frames in older versions of OBS, but didn't realize it, because OBS didn't have a warning message for it.
Changing your webcam setting could help with your late frames, because MJPEG is easier to decode than I420. I've seen it help for others. According to your profiler, the biggest slowdown is in capturing your sources, including your webcam, so even though your webcam isn't lagging, it could be causing your frame times to be too high.

as you see there is significant difference.

Those videos look like completely different settings. Something had to have changed in your setup somewhere.
edit: they are, in fact, very different. The problem video linked used a mere 1000Kbps, with an audio samplerate of 48Khz. The "good" video was using 3000 bitrate, and 44.1Khz audio and did not have CFR enabled.

If you're experiencing the "skipped frames" thing, please try the latest test build if possible. The skipped frame threashold was doubled. If you still have issues, perhaps come by chat some time and try to get my attention so I can have you experiment with some settings.
