Short, sweet, simple and to the point. YouTube rating of 5 Stars right there.

ok, for the encoder part 0:25 if you dont see the nvidea option, then just select x264 if you see it. i do, so i will select it. follow the instrctions as shown. ignore any options that you dont see, that he mentions, like the 2 boxes, or max b-rate. just ignore those, and fill out everything that you can that he mentions.

The only encoder option i have is x264

[jemellee]

holy crap, this is exactly what i needed. thank you for this!

[DopamineOverload]

Most people only have x264 for their encoder, in the Recording / MP4 section... any tips for those people?

If you don't have the *NVIDIA NVENC H. 264* this means that you don't have a graphics card, so just go with the *x264* it should work just as well.

is there any solution to problem when streaming to facebook? i have this problem you cannot stream 60fps on facebook because facebook doesn't support it

[CalebVerse]

Is it normal for the file size to be 50 GB after doing this??

Well, when i try to record Black Ops 2 (for testing purposes) it still kind of laggy, it does not give me the full 60FPS . I am using a RTX 3060 and with Ampere Architecture it should work. I used everything from losless, to CBR 12000 to and CQB.

Ive set obs like this but my utube videos are not at 60 fps they are 30fps. There is some setting or reason why I cant post at 60 fps. Some of my older videos are in 60 fps so its possible. Ive got a decent system so thats not the problem. Any ideas? good vid though but it didnt help me.

[cocorico]

why there is no *NVIDIA NVENC H. 264* encoder for me ?

[phengooogaming]

I found another way to fix it.
Uninstall the new or windows 11 Media Player in apps and use the old one or 5k Player.

[Omi_Kasigi]

What about those who don't Nvidia cards? Lol?

[coisasinteressantespt]

You made it worse. It was recording at 30fps now its recording at 20fps
