Body: <p>I want to record a programming tutorial with OBS Studio in 1080p 30FPS. I have never changed the encoder, the output format is MP4. Although my computer has very good hardware, I get Encoding Overloaded after some time and the video starts getting asynchronous.<br>
  I read that the Encoding gets Overloaded when your computer can't handle the game you are playing and OBS recording, but I don't play any game, the only apps I have running are Visual Studio Code, one or two tabs of Google Chrome and OBS Studio.<br>
  What can I do?<br></p>
  
  <p>Edit:<br>
  CPU: Intel i5-6600k<br>
  OS: Windows 10 Pro<br>
  RAM: 16GB DDR4<br>
  Video Card: PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 480 (8GB V-RAM)<br><br>
  As said, I don't record games, but only have VS Code and OBS Studio running so I can't imagine that my computer is too slow.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help!</p>

  Encoding overloaded means that your computer isn't fast enough to encode with the settings as they are now.
  
  There are two options: 1) Encode via hardware (intel quicksync, AMD VCE, Nvidia nvenc) or set the quality of the encode lower (as in a faster/fastest x264 preset).
  
  Without more information (CPU, GPU, Ram, OS etc) it is difficult to know what is the best way forward.
