Hey everyone,
I'm writing in the hopes that somebody can help me out here. I have an Avermedia Live Gamer Portable 2 capture card that I'm trying to use to record Nintendo Switch footage.
The card is correctly detected in OBS and I'm able to get both video and audio just fine. However as I played back some of my 1080p60 recordings I noticed there's some very visible "hitching" or "stuttering", like the video is clearly 60fps but it appears to be dropping frames here and there.
Thinking maybe the card just wasn't up to par I installed Windows on my iMac 5K (specs in the log file) and used both Avermedia's RECentral and OBS to record some footage, which doesn't actually have any stuttering whatsoever, footage is as smooth as it appears from the console itself.
I'm honestly confused, especially because the little stat window doesn't show any dropped frames (well technically it shows a few at the very beginning but the video consistently stutters throughout)
I have tried both x264 and Apple's Hardware encoder but none give me smooth video, with x264 being the worst offender.
Is there something I should try investigating to find the cause? Here's my log file

And these are my video source settings

Here's a video sample (128MB), make sure to click download as I'm pretty sure Droplr re-encodes the preview

Pay attention at the way the camera zooms in when Pikachu gets closer to Ryu, the motion is visibly choppy but in game it zooms in smoothly
