I will be recording more high action scenes now and not just static frames so I know I need to move it from 30 fps to 60 fps. I am also recording at 1920x1080. I did a test at the following settings.
VAAPI x264 hardware encoded on AMD.
Level: 5
CQP: 16
FrameRate: 30
It records roughly 3.534 GB per hour to a file. If I understand Level correctly, it only acts as a bitrate cap. If this is true then shouldn't I keep Level at its max setting and use CQP to control bit rate as that will probably do it in such a way that doesn't cause glaring graphic errors a forced and dum bit rate cap would cause? In short, what VAAPI settings should I use on Linux Mint?
As for the stream going to servers itself, should I just set Level to highest setting possible and cap the stream at whatever constant bit rate is best?
