Question / Help Stuttering framerate when streaming/recording FFXIV

I'm trying to run OBS to record some fights in FFXIV, however I've run into an odd issue with the framerate stuttering whenever I'm using OBS. It doesn't matter if I'm streaming, recording, or just previewing. What's odd is that it doesn't seem like my framerate's going down at all; the in-game framerate counter is close to the same as when I'm not recording. However, the screen is very jittery, especially when I'm moving.

I recorded a video of myself running around to highlight how the framerate looks. Especially note that mount and return casting bars; the mount bar doesn't fill smoothly but instead jumps forward and backward while it fills. The return bar moves slower, but it also jumps around. (Ignore the sound, I didn't realize my mic was recording Vent at the time.)

Well, not sure what I did beyond fiddle with the game's resolution settings, but I may have fixed it. Log from the most recent working stream:
