My notes on using OBS Studio.

I have mostly understood how to add sources on OBS Studio, but I needed help with mainly resolution and bitrate.

resolution & bitrate

  • Settings > Output:
    • Video Bitrate: CHECK BELOW!
    • Enable Advanced Encoder Settings
    • Enforce streaming site bitrate limits
    • Encoder preset: Low-Latency Performance
  • Settings > Video:
    • Base (Canvas) Resolution: DEPENDS ON STREAMED GAME OR FULL DESKTOP RESOLUTION, CHECK GAME/DISPLAY SETTINGS!
      • I was mainly playing Final Fantasy X with 1280x720 base/canvas resolution.
    • Output (Scaled) Resolution: WHAT VIEWERS WILL SEE, SEE BELOW
    • Downscale filter: Bilinear (Fastest, but blurry if scaling)
    • Common FPS Values: 30

Suggestions

  • DVD quality? 250 Kbps bitrate with output scaled 424x240
  • Steam minimums: 750 Kbps & 640x350 (360p)
    • Note that the second number in resolution is the quality
  • Twitch suggested: 3000 Kbps for 1280x720p
  • I may have been trying 1080p but potential settings were lost with hardware issue.

NOTE: written from memory and my TODO entry for this file without actually having OBS Studio or anything in front of me.
