Hello all, I need some help optimising my OBS settings. I've included the log file, but my screen capture is still poor. I've included my system specs, as well as the test video I recorded. Any help is greatly appreciated. The reason I chose Minecraft was so my framerate wouldn't be a factor, don't tease me about it please. I've also included a screenshot so you can see the difference between using OBS, and what I see while just playing the game. Also, not sure if this is a YouTube or OBS issue, but uploading to YouTube only shows 720p and 360p options, even though I told OBS to record at 1080. Why do I not have the option to see 1080, or 480/240/144?

My test video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GnmuYCoe1s

The image was too large to upload, so I've just use Dropbox.

Here's the guide I followed, it was made by an Admin on here. I did PM him today asking if he could update it, but this is the guideline I used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-L5zhhVuSc

Follow the Guide since you were talking about recording and your Settings are rather made for streaming.

1080p60 on faster is probably close to the limits of your CPU. If it is for streaming use 720p60 or 1080p30 and leave the Preset at Veryfast. For recording follow the Guide.

For Youtube when you upload Videos it takes a while untill they are transcoded.

It shouldn't take several hours to upload a 17-second video in 1080p. It was available in 720 literally seconds after I uploaded it. Is there a way to save profiles, so I can quickly just switch between my streaming profile and my recording profile? I actually tried doing both at once "live-streaming while saving a local file" and got the exact same results. It showed the same quality on both. Why do they need different settings at all? The developer of the software never mentioned anything about having different settings for different situations.

I forgot to include in the original post, I'll edit this in, but here's the guide I followed. It was made by an Admin on here.

Also added my test video. I'm doing this at 4:30am my time so I'm completely out of it. Apparently I forgot to add everything. :p

Obviously it shows the same Result if you use the "live-streaming while saving a local file" Feature since it Writes the Encoded Feed on your HDD without any changes.

If you go into Settings->General you can write a name into the "Setting Profile" and press ADD this will give you two different Profiles which have different Encoder Settings etc.

But you would have to stop streaming since the Goal of local Record and streaming is the Quality you try to achieve.

I tried both the guide you listed, as well as the original one from the Admin, as well as several other guides I've found. Everyone seems to be suggesting different things, and I get the same level of quality each time. I also tried your suggestion of recording at 720p60 only, and it still doesn't look as clear as it does in the "preview stream" window.
