card capture and mpeg4
I recorded a game on my PC using 1080p resolution, but with obs I captured at 768p. The quality remains poor even with lossless compression—it appears as if the video is being forced into 1080p. Also, I used an inexpensive 10 USD card capture card. My questions are:
1. Is it impossible because the output monitor is 768p? Or is it due to the card capture?
2. Does obs have an MPEG-4 encoder built in? Because I couldn’t find one.
Thank you very much.
What you meant by using a PC with 768 resolution is? Did you connect two devices? What were your specific actions?
The device running the game is the source, it sends the input to OBS and the recorded video comes from OBS as the output.
If the game's PC runs at 768p, that means it's operating at its maximum resolution.
What you meant by using a PC with 768 resolution is unclear. Did you use two devices? What exactly were your actions? The device running the game serves as the source, sending input to OBS and producing the recorded video as the output from OBS.
If the game runs at 768p, recording at 1080p won’t alter the GPU’s performance—it will still run at 768p and be scaled up to 1080. You can try pushing a higher resolution on your monitor even if it isn’t officially supported, though this may cause issues.
In the encoding settings, you’ll find options like x.264 (MPEG4 via CPU), quick sync video (QSV, MPEG4 via Intel GPUs that support it), and NVENC (MPEG4 via NVIDIA GPUs that support it).
