x264 settings for 60 FPS video capture

[gelo333]

I capture video in OBS. The main content is captured from third-party video. Could you please tell me which settings should I improve for 60 FPS in the x264 codec with CRF? I think the main settings are keyint, min-keyint, AQ, b=adapt, and maybe a few others.

1. OBS is not suitable for capturing; it's the worst possible choice. Use VirtualDub.
2. There are tons of tutorials online -- personally, I'd use the default settings with preset=slower and CRF=17 (visually lossless). But if you want to capture directly to h264, it's a very poor choice.

Thanks for the answer!

I'm having trouble finding direct answers to my questions. For example, what changes if I use 60 FPS instead of the standard 30 FPS? What codec settings should I change? Especially keyint and min-keyint.

If not x264, what codec should I use for capturing?

Should I use VirtualDub's built-in features or install screen recording plugins?

The source is not 60fps. Therefore, you do not capture at 60fps.

OBS was not made for analog video capture. It is a digital screen capture utility. Analog video is "captured" from within preview layers, essentially OBS still acts as screen capturing. This isn't capturing.

You're not getting direct answers because the questions are wrong. Most people don't answer wrong (or dumb) questions, simply because the asker insists.

The source is 60 FPS. I'm recording Windows. Is this analog video?
I have no problem recording at 60 FPS. I was asking about codec optimization.
