Setting Up OBS Classic to Record Live Video Instead of Streaming

By Paul Williams | Mar 24, 2015
Just a brief video on how to set up OBS on how to record video. I'll do a full "How to set up your Twitch/Hitbox Stream" at some point.

Just a note:

- I'm doing a few extra steps of Disabling the Preview because it's REALLY distracting, this is NOT necessary. It's completely optional.
- Also for some reason, OBS changed my stream settings from 1280x720 to 1600x900. Had no idea it did that, probably from a recent update. You should set your resolution up to be what you want it to be streamed/shown at. As a reminder, Twitch recommends resolutions that conform to 16:9 format.
- FPS is really machine dependent, my machine can handle recording and streaming at 60 frames per second, you're machine may not. You may want to visit the OBS page at http://www.obsproject.com and use their estimator and get a good guess.
