When you add it as a source in OBS, hit configure and make sure it's set to like 59.94fps for the video to show up.

Also make sure the actual elgato recording software isn't running while trying to use it in OBS. Video Comparisonįor your reference, we also uploaded the video of the comparison above so you can check it yourself. The black screen is usually just a configure issue. We will be also adding more bitrate comparison for 4K and other resolution.

Using above 50Mbit/s doesn’t really give noticeable changes or improvements.Įven in NVIDIA’s GeForce Experience also uses 50,000Kbit/s as their 100% high quality for 1080p recording. If you want to further down the file size, you could go as low as 30,000Kbit/s that somehow maintains the quality and if you want for more quality you could go as high as 50,000Kbit/s. So far, the best settings for bitrate in terms of quality and sizes is at 40,000Kbit/s (sweet spot). I tried to switch the output device from USB speaker to my analog speakers but doesnt help at all. The sound popping on both OBS and Elgato Game Capture. The comparison is incremental with 10,000Kbit/s or 10Mbit/s. Elgato HD60 S sound crackling issue (on both OBS and DC) Used HDMi as sound input but there is noticeable sound poping (and you can see the sound indicator goes high when the pops appear). To help you decide which bitrate settings is for you, we have listed the file size and quality comparison below for each bitrate settings. Storage: SD Card with 120MB/s write speed.In our testing, We will also be using 1-minute average recording to compare the file size and for comparing the quality, we will take a capture after the movement and motion blur, so we can capture the noises and low quality portion of the video. However, you can find a better bitrate settings that produces unnoticeable changes from high quality with reduce file size. The higher the bitrate, the higher the quality and the file size. The bitrate is the number of bits per second that it can transmit media, for recording gameplay its the data from your recorder to the storage device.Īside from transferring the media to the storage, there is another factor that affects bitrate, this is the encoder, that processes the data and compression, most of the encoder commonly used in recording are the HVEC/H265 and H264 which gives the best compression.īasically, the bitrate settings is for the gameplay’s quality and file size. One thing that you will encounter when recording a gameplay either in OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) or from an Elgato capture card (HD60 S, HD60 S+, 4K60 S+, 4K60 PRO), even in AverMedia, there is this bitrate that makes you clueless on what it is for.
