You could easily record in 1080p at 30 fps and maintain a high-quality output. You've mentioned that you only want to record in 720p and do not stream. If you were to record in 1080p then a value between 20 and 25 would be appropriate.
For 720 you could have a value between 25 and 30 for a decent result and a smaller file size. For a 720p recording, you don't need the ICQ value to be that low (high quality). You'll end up with a file that has an average bitrate of 20 to 30 Mbps with that. ICQ Quality of 18 is a bit too much in the opposite direction compared to what you have before.
If it's the slight blockiness around the text onscreen then you could try changing the downscaling algorithm from Bicubic (Sharpened scaling, 16 Samples) to Lanczos (sharpened Scaling, 36 Samples).Īlso doing what koala suggests would produce a very good quality output, but be warned your file size will increase. What is it about the video you think looks bad? But either way, increase the bit rate as 4000 Kbps is too low. Which is probably because the video is too short for it to ramp up to 4000 Kbps. But when viewing in VLC as original size (not fit to window), it looked fine, but the text is a little blocky. The video was a bit too short for me to analyse it properly (my software errored out before it had a chance to do anything). Recording some gameplay or video to show the issue might be better. But, you are showing a very bland window, mostly blue and white. Using my browser on my PC the video looks fine to me.
As this video is so short it probably doesn't t have enough time to figure that out and you may always get a 480p or 360p stream on a mobile device. When it determines that it ups the quality.
