As per title

Gameplay is fine, no frame rate drops or anything, but the video recorded doesn't seem to be as smooth, anyone getting similar issues?

Using game capture.

Encoding - quality 10, max bitrate 20,000 (based on that 'best quality' article? Can't remember, no issues with xcom eu for this)

Audio - aac, 128kbps

Resolution - no downscale, 30fps

Advanced -
Multithreaded, scene buffering 400ms, allow modifiers on hotkeys, x264 cpu preset: very fast, custom encoder settings: crf=18,

Hey Thanks,

But btw, 1000, or 10,000?

1,000... it's just arbitrary really. Custom Buffer Size will in fact tell the encoder just to do what it wants, basically. ;)
