I record with CQP 18 and a resolution of 2560x1440 (1440p), which yields a file size of 44 Gig for 1:40 hours of gameplay (4.4 Gig for 10 minutes). If someone verified lower values get you no better quality after you uploaded the video to Youtube, go with 22.įor myself, I'm doing a recoding step with postprocessing. The quality after recoding should be not lower than the quality Youtube offers for their videos.
If you intend to postprocess your recordings, and that postprocessing involves recoding (recompressing) your video locally, you should choose a higher recording quality, because recoding means quality loss. If you just want to upload directly what you recorded, you can record with the same quality Youtube recodes every upload with. The recording quality you should choose depends on the kind of postprocessing you intend to do. So I'm happy staying at 22, but is there something else I'm able to do to basically give youtube what it'll spit out anyway? I was recording at CQP 18, Max Performance mode (as "Max Quality" doesn't make a difference in CQP output quality but also risks encoding lag / uses more GPU). So it begs the question - if I'm recording on Nvenc with CQP, what should the setting really be to try and look as good as possible and almost match the quality youtube shapes my recording into anyway? Or is CQP 22 the jackpot? I had heard an experienced Youtuber say today there's no point in going below 22 CQP if the file will only end up on youtube as he had tested lower numbers down to 15 and the visual quality stayed the same once he went under 22 and youtube did it's own compression on all tested videos. Guess how big their version of my file was? (again, wait for it.) a mere 1.6gb. It looked quite good but not worth the (wait for it) 64gb I racked up in 2 hours.įurthermore, I uploaded it to youtube, realised I wanted to edit some bits out, and figured it would be faster to download the compressed version and upload that again after I'm finished editing. I test-cranked the settings way up on CQP 18 for a 1080p recording at 60fps on my Nvenc encoder.
