Question / Help Spontaneous taking too long to encode

[Lilrex]

So I was recording the other night and all of a sudden i look over and I see in red letters "taking too long to encode skipping frame" staying up permanently. I have seen this message once or twice as a quick flash but never just sitting there.

I do not know what caused this, I am only doing file output, no stream.

I have ran the log analyzer but it keeps giving me errors in the live twitch stream.

I uploaded 2 log files if someone can please help me or at least tell me what to look for when reading hte logs so i can solve this problem for myself in the future.

Your CPU can't handle encoding 1920x1080 video at 60 FPS. You switched from 30 to 60 FPS somewhere in the second log.

awesome thanks.

just as an aside question, would an i7 be able to handle 60 fps at 1080?

Maybe? Depends on which i7 model, which game you're playing, etc. As a general rule we recommend against it.
