Question / Help Why worse quality on Youtube?

Hey,

Whenever I watch the videos after OBS Studio has recorded them on the PC the quality looks awesome. I'm aware of the worsening of quality Youtube does on uploaded videos but I think this worsening is of greater impact on my videos.

For example:

My video of Ghost Recon Wildlands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKiUsRVINSI&feature=youtu.be (watch at 9:35 without sound)
Another person's video of the game (we both are on pc and record 1080p 60 FPS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6tHTqXYy5s (watch at 48:07 without sound)

Could it have something to do with the OBS Studio settings? Mine doesn't even look 60 FPS... Here are mine:

  • Recording Type: Standard
  • Recording Format: mp4
  • Encoder: NVENC H.264 (i have a Geforce GTX 1070)
  • Rescale Output: unchecked
  • Custom Muxer Settings: none
  • Rate Control: CQP
  • CQP: 18
  • Keyframe Interval (seconds): 0
  • Preset: Default
  • Profile: high
  • Level: auto
  • Use Two-Pass Encoding: checked
  • GPU: 0
  • B-frames: 2
  • Base (Canvas) Resolution: 1920x1080
  • Output (Scaled) Resolution: 1920x1080
  • Downscale Filter: Lanczos
  • Common FPS Values: 60
  • Process Priority: Above Normal
  • Renderer: Direct3D 11
  • Color Format: NV12
  • YUV Color Space: 709
  • YUV Color Range: Partial
Could they be optimized even further than this?

Thanks y'all,

I should have the correct one up now.

I thought it used Game Capture by default, hmm, guess I have to manually click on it and choose the game next time.

Save the video without modification. YouTube will apply the VP9 codec.
