Watched about 5 videos that was just saying "Match the base and downscale resolution" "Don't touch bitrate number, just go max quality setting" without stating why. Your video actually explained what was happening and why as well as: 1. Showing me how to fix a problem 2. Teaching me about bitrate 3. Allowed me to find a good balance that works for my pc. 10/10 will watch again and recommend to others!

[@jaczob666]

Totally wish I found this video first. A lot of my recordings are blocky for the same reason. Didn't even realize the recordings were coming out garbage until I finally got around to editing one. Disappointing.

[@Elshi-2022]

is it just me or his voice is actually satisfying

[@ant6687]

Its yo Boi Johnny Gaming good mic

[@AURAXKIRA]

ye good satisfy

[@Mindylaba]

he sounds like he would be the one really really smart guy on an anime

[@alexlovehall7796]

Very good satisfy

[@abiyyupanggalih854]

hmmm..............................................

[@HGStudios217]

Not only does this man explain exactly how to fix the problem. Not only does this man teach us why it's being the problem in detail. But his voice is so satisfying to listen to. Truly the perfect video guide. 10/10!

[@toxic_player101]

YESSS

[@downgrade470]

My problem is that when I record it’s fine, when I look at obs while recording it’s fine but when I watch it it looks terribke why are people still replying to this it’s been 2 years

[@DevYouTube]

same

[@twistss]

yeah that's what he's trying to fix by giving you this information

[@downgrade470]

Insidious that’s not what he helped with

[@DevYouTube]

GamingWithChestnut same, mine is fine now. I reset my obs and then put all my settings back to normal.

[@downgrade470]

PyxV_Dev alright

[@L0st_Mem0ries]

This really worked for me, and helped my footage out a lot! A suggestion however, for those who want to find that sweet spot for their bitrate. What I did was recorded some footage that is consistently similar, such as driving a car in your favorite car game or doing a training match in your favorite shooter game (I make minecraft videos so I just recorded that). It doesn't have to be long, i only did like 10 seconds. Anyways, start low, at around 10k bitrate and keep increasing until your footage gets choppy (it might take awhile). After that just go 10k bitrate lower then what you were at (Ex: if you were at 50k bitrate and it looked choppy and glitchy, move it down to 40k bitrate!)

[@Mundu]

Thank you so much for this!

[@smk8678]

Thanks 😊

[@sabrienedzhip]

This was the only video that actually helped me - straight to the point and also the details to better understand and adjust to my type of screen recordings. Thank you so much!

[@Unique_Elegance]

I was struggling with blocky/blurry video for the past hour, I watched 5+ videos and couldn't understand anything. This video got straight to the point. Thank you so so much!

[@KyleBlumreisinger]

Seriously, how does this only have 1.8k likes? Straight to the point, provides a great, easy-to-understand explanation, and a super effective solution! Bravo!

[@LTMotions]

Thanks so much, that fixed my problem! I wasn't totally sure whether you wanted a higher or lower bitrate, this explained it simply yet effectively

[@thejollyg4mer]

You’re a lifesaver. I had to figure out my mic problems by myself and no one had given a good explanation on the resolution. Thanks, you saved me some trouble

[@Arman-_-]

same

[@TheBrewingMiner]

This helped so much! I spent so long changing various settings that various forums said would help. In the end, this was all that was needed

[@Cryyfuu]

For anyone that still has problems with the res for some reason: go to > Settings > Video > and then change the "Output Res" to the same as the "Base Res", this works for me perfectly fine :D!

[@knowledgebits12]

Literally the first video that popped up on a Google search, and it was exactly what I needed! My laptop capture looked great, but the recording itself wouldn't capture it properly. Changed the bitrate, and BOOM! That's all that I needed. Thanks so much!

[@Exoth3rm]

Thank you! Finally found the video I was looking for to make my videos less blurry, or whatever the right term is. Appreciate this video, thanks again!

[@Gamer-Sam]

I got issue when recording VR gaming, lose more than 60% of the quality during recording, the video became so blurry. After I watched your video, I found out the problem is that I set CQP instead of CBR under the output, after I change it back to CBR and set 60000, the quality went back to 100% as original. Thanks a lot man! 👍
