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

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.
