Hey guys, I'm pretty new to OBS, and I'm trying to use it to record some gameplay. kinda just testing things out, getting my feet wet so to speak. No streaming as of yet, just trying to save things locally, and then uploading later on. I've noticed that in any high quality games (like if I play Batman Arkham Origins on max settings, or Titanfall on max settings, the two main ones i've tried so far), whenever I start recording, I get a message on OBS down at the bottom in red "Taking too long to encode, skipping frames". Shows no lost frames or anything, basically just skips a lot.
Is this because I have the quality of my games set too high? Is my hardware not sufficient? Is my OBS just setup incorrectly?
Here's my system -
OS -> Windows 7 HP 64-bit SP1
CPU --> Intel Core i5 4670K (clocked @ 3.4ghz)
RAM --> 8GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 533MHz
Mobo --> ASUS Sabertooth Z87
GPU --> Sapphire Vapor-x R9 280x
Storage device that videos are being saved to -> Hitachi HDS722020ALA330 SCSI 2TB hdd ( I do have an SSD with a bit of extra space on it, would it be better for me to save them there and then transfer them over to the HDD? )
When I go into OBS Help, and try to upload my latest log, this is what it gives me. --> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/52547a207a027702c51e
If that doesn't give you everything you need, let me know what you need me to add, and I'd be happy to provide it if you're willing to help. Keep in mind I've literally had OBS for just a few days now, and the only thing I've really f***ed around with, is these settings in this link. https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/how-to-make-high-quality-local-recordings.12600/
I have CRF set at 15 (been slowly increasing it from 5 to see if that will fix the problem and nothing changes at all.), Bitrate is down at 650 because my Upload speed is only about 5.58 Mbps. Although I'd think that wouldn't matter consider i'm not actually streaming/uploading anything to the net.
I tried with aero disabled, and enabled, and there was no difference (in fact with aero disabled, my computer seemed to function poorly, so I turned it back on now.
