Research direction

Start by comparing the OBS 28 log at https://obsproject.com/logs/r2acLKJxfgYOR3dw with the OBS 27.2.4 log at https://obsproject.com/logs/2PwvJ4VZmN6XFfTu, then trace the new AMD encoder path in the OBS source. No source file or test is named; done means streaming with the new encoder no longer stutters or lags under the reported Windows setup.
