So by saying ultrafast you simply say 'don't think too much and don't try to compress that x %% in less disk space because i don't care about disk space', higher presets would be just like going from 'fast' to 'medium' or 'best' compression in winrar or 7zip, you have same quality of image just get less disk space used. You can use the 'ultrafast' preset which normally is not recommended because you're not concentrating in squeezing as much quality in some fixed amount of data that you upload (which is the case for streaming), you're not uploading in CBR or VBR mode, you're recording in CRF mode which means 'use as much data as you want to preserve xx % of the image quality - the lower the CRF value the higher the percentage, where 0 means 100% of image quality) When you're done, you can take that near lossless quality video and recompress it again from maybe 80-100 mbps bitrate down to 10-20 mbps you would want for Youtube or archival or whatever.įor 2D (windows, or 2d games) you can use something like the below but for very good quality (near lossless) i would set the CRF to something between 2 and 10 (setting to 0 or 1 is not a good idea) You can configure it to compress with very low processor usage, but to use a lot of disk space. The best quality you will get by configuring obs to compress using x264 software compressor. The compression will cause some quality loss, and the compressor is not optimized for 2d stuff, for windows screen, small text, so it would look ugly.

Note that the cheap usb capture cards will use a chip on the dongle to compress the captured video to mp4 or mpeg2 at a reduced bitrate and the card sends this compressed stuff to you through the usb connector, and then the driver decompresses the video as if you play a movie on the computer. Yes, you could record it, if you have a video card with two outputs and you mirror the output of main monitor to the second output (where you have the video card plugged in)
