OBS recording Freezes (never used to until now)

[ECto-Monkey]

Hi everyone, thank you for taking a look at my thread.

Been recording (not streaming) on OBS for months, no issue with my laptop. Recently, the video during the recording now freezes after anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour from pressing start on Advanced Scene Switcher.

Here is the latest log, I believe I did it right? After it froze, I exited out of OBS and then got the previous Log

And here is another that just happened https://obsproject.com/logs/cEu3TTQuP3HwizFo

I would start by disabling the iGPU, it's worthless with any version of OBS after v27.x.x. Test

If no improvement, Save the current Scene Collection & then create a New Scene Collection & a new Profile with just 1 Scene & Source. Test

If it's still bugged, most likely your PC. If it improves, you'll need to troubleshoot/debug the old Profile (it will take hours) or just start over.

"Overread 8" is an FFmpeg decoder error, most likely from your capture card or other USB devices. Check for USB overload: https://r1ch.net/blog/managing-usb-bandwidth-with-usbview

SE errors out the wazoo that just keep happening over & over again wasting resources on a already thin system by today's standards....

Thanks Rockbottom.

I went ahead and created a new Scene Collection.

I also disabled the iGPU.

SE errors? Hmm Stream Elements, interesting as I don't even use it anymore.

I'll also read into https://r1ch.net/blog/managing-usb-bandwidth-with-usbview USB overload thank you for the resource
