Every recorded video with any software is choppy during playback.

[Rylan Sparks]

I've tried OBS, Fraps, and AMD's Gaming Evolved GVR to record various games at different bitrates and framerates. Gameplay is not affected in any way, but in playback it is always choppy no matter what software I use.

In VLC, WMP, and even Adobe Premiere Pro, the video plays back choppy.

No, It's not that I need to record to a separate drive. I'm doing that. I have a 240gb SSD that I am recording to, so it's not that.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You recording as 1080p? What frame rate?

My guess is that it's a struggle for the i3. See https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/high-cpu-usage-high-encoding-taking-too-long-to-encode-read-this-first.23334/

Recording at 720p at 30fps. And that's what I assumed too, but my laptop with an i3 (2.4GHz I think?) records and encodes just fine.

Now that I've been trying different games with different settings, I can record 1080p 30fps in source games like Half Life 2, and they play back fine. Any higher than 30fps though, and it starts getting bad.

I'll try that OBS thread for sure though.
