the best resolution and bitrate for youtube

[naturebelgium]

Best,
since a week i started to livestream a bird feeder shelf in my garden? I am using a wireless IP camera via the screen capture ...
The problem is that I don't know which solution to use and the ideal bitrate, sometimes it happens to block and youtube indicates that it is not the ideal resolution. The canvas is 1366x768 and the output is 1092x614. During the livestream there are often hiccups or the livestream is lost for 24 hours.
W ith anyone a solution to my problem?

Best regards,

You must set your OBS output to optimize for the Google downscaling hardware, as well as your limited hard drive space. I was using my Geforce GPU for encoding but I upgraded to x264 software encoding because it's higher quality and my AMD video encoding was glitching. You want as high-quality stream as possible because when you downscale the image, you will get a higher quality. I personally use 5100Mbps video with 48KHz audio. For 720p/768p that is about half the megapixels so you can do 3-4Mpbs.

Locally it's best to store your videos in the H.265 format because it will be higher quality and use less CPU power and hard drive space, but a lot of video editors have issues with H.265 still. I recommend using Davinci Resolve Studio with the Speed Editor.

You want to set your keyframe iterval to 2. I set CPU usage: medium, Profile: High, Tune: film and that works pretty well.

If you are having problems with dropped frames, crashing, stuttering, etc, it can be hard to find the problem, it could be your hardware. My Thunderbolt and USB bus was causing crashing. I personally use multiple recording desktops with Elgato Cam Link Pros and a crazy amount of cameras. One of my desktops uses an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, another is Ryzen 9 5900X and GeForce 1060. The 5700G is more than powerful enough to run all my 4K cameras. No more crashing.

The Intel i5 11400's GPU wasn't fast enough. It took a long time to figure out what the problem was. You can just look in the Tasks Manager in Windows to look at how much of your GPU you're using and you will probably need to upgrade GPUs to play more videos. Remember that OBS is very CPU and GPU intensive. If you are having problems you should go with the CPUs I recommend, or a 5800X, but you really want to keep some extra cores for the video encoding and decoding. Any good GPU will do.
