I just started using OBS to be able to record videos to show my dad of me racing online. OBS records awesome but when I watch the videos, they have minute glitches every so often that barely last a blink of an eye on the screen. Any idea what would be causing this? Link to a video that shows it: https://youtu.be/B4goKvPTcbk Any help appreciated! Thanks!

23:03:46.098: Output 'adv_file_output': Total encoded frames: 10015
23:03:46.098: Output 'adv_file_output': Total drawn frames: 10012
23:03:46.098: Output 'adv_file_output': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 4869 (48.6%)

The encoder can't keep up with encoding the frames. Try lowering settings like FPS, resolution, or encoder settings (I've never used the AMF Encoder).

23:01:54.851: [AMF Encoder] Submission queue size is growing. (160/5/180)
23:02:00.735: [AMF Encoder] Submission queue is full, dropping frame instead...

Not sure what this error is (again, I don't use the AMD encoder) but I am guessing your drive can't keep up or your encoder can't keep up.

Also, use the 64-bit version of OBS.

When I downloaded, it never gave me an option to choose between 32 and 64 bit. Ill see if I can find a way to specify choosing which one to choose between. As for the encoder, I have a choice between hardware(AMD) and software(x264). Is it better to run the software over the hardware?

x264 = much higher quality, slower encoding speed, better compression
AMD (or any hardware encoder) = much lower quality, faster encoding speed, usually bigger file sizes

You should try x264 on veryfast CPU preset. If you can handle that, try faster. If you are getting poor FPS, use superfast or ultrafast. Use a CRF of anywhere between (15 - 20, lower is higher quality, you get the idea). CRF basically determines the bitrate required for each frame.
