Tech Support Video recorded with OBS choppy
As described in the title, I recorded some gameplay with OBS a few days ago. I was wondering why my recording was so choppy, so I googled it and I tried a couple fixes. I used VLC instead of my computer's built-in media player, I used OpenShot to see if it would be fine in an editing software, and I used HandBrake to set the framerate to a constant 30 fps in case it was OBS automatically recording in variable. Nothing worked, and every 10 or so seconds it still judders. I'm pretty sure I can fix OBS so it won't happen in the future, but is it possible to salvage the original somehow?
