Hello,

So I've been trying to record a game for the past couple of days now I'll show you the link of their trailer.

And I cannot get it to record at that speed, I did turn off the graphic shader in the game which helped a bit but it's still no where near that speed in the link I provided. What settings should I use on OBS? I'm using a Mac to game and here are my specs for it.

OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.2
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

That is an older version of OBS, can you update to 0.10.1, try again, and post a new log?

Interesting, thanks. Can you post an example video of what happens when you try to record?

Your recording resolution is a bit too high, requiring too much CPU. Lower the scaled resolution to 1280x720 or less.
