Very pixilated quality

[Badpoolinator ツ]

I've had this problem ever since I got obs. It's really pixilated. Here's an example:

(The normal aspect ratio was 16:9) It is only pixilated in the recording, not the actual encoder or anything. It normally only happens when there is alot of stuff going on. So things like grass has the large pixels. Is there any settings that cause this or anything else??

This is indicative of insufficient bitrate for your chosen resolution and framerate. High-motion and high-detail situations need more bitrate to preserve image quality.

Recommend swapping to the CQP or CRF encoding target method, and using a CQ value of 16-20. Lower is better quality, but much larger file size. 20 should only have minor visual artifacts, 16 should be visually lossless. Going below 16 without a specific reason is not advised as filesizes will be HUGE for no real gain outside of specific niche use-cases.

CQP/CRF are image-quality based encoding targets, using as much or as little bitrate as is needed to maintain a set image quality level. No artifacting choke on complex scenes, no wasting bitrate on simple ones.

Thank you SO much.
