I've been trying to stream my PS1 to YouTube. So far it's been slowly improving in quality until this brick wall. After maybe 5 minutes of good quality steam, the video and audio lag out and go crazy on screen. The only fix is to restart OBS, thus constantly ending the stream!

A lot of this jargon is greek to me, so if anyone can help, please go easy with your explanations! ^^

EDIT: Captured an example with laggy moments starting at 5:50 and 16:45

Well, this could be a lot of things. A -lot- of them.

And to be completely honest, your best bet is to go to OBS's forums, post your computer specs and diagnostics, and have one of the pros there help ya.

The best thing I recommend is going into your OBS settings and adjusting your settings. It could be a few things. I recommend doing a bunch of "test" recordings/streams to decide which settings are best, and then go from there.
