Willing to pay for assistance...

[DJNokturnal]

Hi All, I am looking for guidance and willing to pay for the help. I've spent far too many hours struggling with my current OBS/video recording/video encoding/youtube project and am on a bit of a time-line. :)

Problem: My recordins have momentary pauses randomly, even without any warning message on OBS abut encoder overload.

Hello, I have been lurking these forums quite a bit, and prefer to solve problems on my own but I am stumped. I am trying to squeeze out the best possible quality recordings I can from OBS but feel like I am missing something. I am using the sprout add on to capture milkdrop 2 video feed directly into OBS. I have read many how-to's and tried countless variations. I am pretty new to OBS and the world of video so perhaps I am expecting too much from my computer hardware?

Here are my hardware/software specs:
Win10 Pro 64 bit
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 1600X 33 °C Summit Ridge 14nm Technology
RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1199MHz
GRAPHICS 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

OBS Studio v26.1.1 (64 bit)
Encoder: NVIDIA NVENC H.264 (new)
Format: .mov (yes I know I'll lose it if interrupted but I prefer this file type)
Rate Control: CQP
CQ level: 24 (I have tried adjusting this endlessly, in combination wiht preset and output resolution to trya nd get the best recording)
Keyframe Interval: 2
Preset: Quality
Profile: High
Look Ahead / Psycho Visual Tuning: both off
GPU:0
Max B-Frames: 2
Output Resolution: 1140x810 (i'd really prefer 1920x1080 but not possible with the quality I am after)
Downscaling: Bicubic
FPS: 60 (I am capturing fast moving visuals from Milkdrop so any slower and you can see the chunky video flow)
Benq Monitors (2) both set at 60khz (that is their max), I have tried turngin one off to see if that woudl free up some GPU when recording but did not seem to help

first thought after look on Log file, remove all unnecessary elements.
Record only your game.
Then add individual items and check recording. Perhaps you can see where the problem is.

Tomasz thank you for your reply. I am recording video from winapm, specifically I am recording the Milkdrop visualizer directly into OBS with a sprout connection. Elemts I am recording: audio from winamp (I can easily mute this, which I tired but did not change anything), and I only have two 2 sources running: sprout line in for milkdrop, and a url for my website which is faded in by using the OBS transition slider from preview to program so that hte url is slighly ghosted into the background.

Ones again, clear all elements, add only capture game, records, send log, watch video file.
Many problems is too complicated scene, too much scenes.
Last week some one want record 8K, but ffmpeg output offer only CFR mode, ShadowPlay use VFR mode to save video, just as you think ShadowPlay manages resources better.
It's called work from scratch.

Well it turns out that sprout may have been causing the issue. I was able to do a screen source recording with all the OBS settings dialed up as far as they could go for quality and it looks spectacular with no stutter. Now if I could only figure out how to get it to look as good when I upload the file to YouTube I'd set. At least I am one step closer.

It turns out sprout was not the issue, it is as you said Tomasz. I removed all scenes and elements, and only had exactly whatI needed loaded into OBS, and I now have crystal clear very high quality recordings with no stutter. Sprout is now working perfectly for recording winamp milkdrop directly into OBS.
