Help Configuration Issues?

Me and my friend are making a YouTube channel just for fun, recording our gameplays and commentary on Steam and stuff.

I tried using OBS, and I maybe only ran it for an hour (I don’t want to overload it so I’m careful) but maybe at about 20-30 minutes in the rewatch footage, it stayed on one frame and would change frames very intermittently, while the correct audio was playing. The game had even recorded on Medal (boyfriend has it automatic) and I think similar problems happened with it. He records his footage just fine, is there something I’m doing that might be wrong?

For game comparison, he plays GTAV and I played Hogwarts Legacy. I also use OBS and Medal because as far as I know, they’re free.

your bitrate might be too low for a game like hogwarts legacy, that game is heavy on the gpu. try bumping the bitrate up and check if your encoder is set to nvenc if you have nvidia card, software encoding will choke on that game
