[Media Foundation encoder]: plugin is disabled for performance

this was in your log.

MFE is what OBS uses right now for VCE NVENC and QSV, sry, upgrade.
 
This refers to the AAC Encoder not Video AFAIK @dping

You can see in his log that he tried using MF for video but it failed for whatever reason:

Just another bump. Still unable to get QuickSync to work on Win7.

I'm not 100% on this, but have you tried starting OBSMP as admin? the 0x80004005 you are getting with Set output type is a very generic error usually meaning that the app itself is not giving the error but another program. This could be qsvhelper or even older intel drivers. That being said, windows 7 drivers for quicksync have been notoriously bad, but they usually experience a crash more-so than it just not working.
 
Sorry for bumbing this but this issue is still... A thing...

Edit: Why is this important to me? Windows 7 is still the most legit OS released by Microsoft. I dislike Windows 8 and dread the thought of using Windows 10 (Had a very bad transfer experience on my laptop... Ended up destroying my Wifi Adapter...)

But there is a bit more to this! OBS Studio offers support for a base resolution of 2560x1440 and a downscaled output of 1920x1080. I have triple 2k Monitors... Would prefer to continue playing at a 2k res that my double Zotac 980ti GTX cards can support.
 
0.14 is going to have a native quicksync implementation i believe. No more relying on the shitty media foundation encoders.
