Alternatives to OBS??

Mokonafan · **Posted:** Wed Dec 06, 2017 1:03 pm **(#1)**

Hi everyone hope you're doing good!
I was curious if anyone got an alternatives to OBS for recording my webcam?
As it stands now OBS keeps glitching out all my footage and it looks like a broken tv.
I really don't have any money so free would be amazing or at the very least dirt cheap.

I really wanna use the webcam cause it's got widescreen and all my videos are a box.

Any help is welcomed!
You can see my full problem if anyone knows a way to fix it here : https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/gl ... ing.77946/

Thanks!

I don't have a webcam. Why can't you just use a screen recording utility? Most will allow to capture a fixed size, example would be 1280x720 recording window. Lot's of decent free ones out there. What OS are you running?

Also,
here are the setting I use,

Check your Bitrate,
it may need to be adjusted.
Full HD standard Framerate is 1080p @ 30fps and a Bitrate @ 3500 to 5000 kbps.

I use an Nvidia graphics card and it shows in my settings as:
Encoder: NVENC H.264
If you're using a graphics car.
Be sure that it's selected.
The encoding set of X264 are used if you do not have a graphics card.

60 is what I have the FPS set at,
but it can also be adjusted lower,
if things become unstable.

I found that the best setting for the Downscale Filter,
is Lanczos.
