Question / Help Taking too long to encode LOW CPU usage

ZeldoOfNekomacia · Aug 28, 2014

Im trying to record a video game with my comuter and obs is saying its taking too long to encode but my cpu barley goes above 33%. idk what is going on i even tried lower down the settings like resolution and bitrate, if anyone can help that would be great. i can post my specs upon request just tell me what you need to know.

Turn down your scaled resolution some more (downscale). Monitor capture and window capture seem to be having a bit of lag as well.
