encoding

Hello! We are currently working on a source plugin. After it has output video through obs_source_output_video, we need to grab information about the frame later, after it has been encoded, right when it is sent to let say a streaming service. Is there a way, through the existing public API, to...

Hello OBS Community, Recently I've gotten back into streaming, and just today I was running a abnormal surprise stream (just after the most recent update) and problems arose. First of all, my GPU usage spiked from 10%-20% to 100% just on the OBS process itself (due note I am running 1080p60fps...

Hello, I am using google chat as video conference / blog in order to stream into youtube. We have participants in remote locations. I am a participant and the one that controls obs. In order to use a browser source, make the google chat window into a small portion on the screen and display...

Hey everyone im trying to make obs work like it used to i have no idea what has changed but now it is not letting me record anything at all without it encoding lag left and right and im really getting fed up with it i enjoy recording but i cant do it without my videos looks choppy now Specs...

I've been using OBS to record my videos for 18 months, and I've had the same settings the whole time. I've been able to record almost any game without any sort of lag, up until 12.18.2021. I didn't change any settings, yet I'm now getting the "Encoding overloaded" warning message every time I...

OBS ships with an existing AMD GPU encoder which is sadly outdated and unmaintained. This plugin is a rewrite of the original fixing several bugs in the process. As an additional feature it supports texture based encoding which makes GPU encoding even less CPU intensive. In it's current state...

Hello, hope everyone is having a good day and my apologies if there are any typos. Ever since I started using OBS, which is around 2 years ago, this issue has always bothered me and I want to fix it or figure it out once and for all, so any help would be greatly appreciated and I will provide...

Hi guys! I hope you don't mind this is not a technical issue but I would really appreciate your feedback though :) I plan on upgrading my Matebook D14 to a better laptop so that I can record all my sources (five so far) and also multistream at the same time at 720p or even 1080p as I have 100mb...

Hey guys, I have had this issue for a while now and it keeps on bugging me. My streams always have some sort of blurry/grainy look to it. I used to think that this is a hardware issue but since I recently picked up the new RTX 3070 I think the issue is somewhere in my settings. I should have a...

Hello, I am using the following settings: Base Res: 1920x1080 Output Res: 1152x648 Downscale Filter: Bicubic FPS: 60 Encoder: H264/AVC Preset: Indistinguishable Recording Quality Preset: Quality Keyframe Interval: 2.00 HERES A LOG: https://obsproject.com/logs/iAjuFPQvLO80UsUK The recording...

CPU: Intel Core i5-8265U 1.60GHZ GPU: Inegrated Graphics RAM: 8GB I need some help. I tried everything I could. Does anyone have suggestions?

My AMD encoder is what I use for encoding because I have a low-end cpu, my GPU is a Radeon RX580, I used to be able to use the encoder but after resetting my pc it disappeared, also I don't know how to get the logs so if you need them, tell me where they're located, thank you

Dear peoples, I am new to OBS and livestreaming in general, so please be kind if this issue is easy to fix ;) During the pandemic I started doing livestream jobs for local businesses and sport teams together with someone. We started using the ATEM Mini Pro with the ATEM software. After having...

Using Flameshot (Lightshot alternative on Linux) i took an image of the source material and the recorded footage of the escape menu with no moving parts. The second image looks noticeably pixelated, grainy, and the color is off. This was recorded with placeboo, 8000 bitrate, CBR in 1080p. (The...

I pressed Stop Recording, turned to stopping recording, and it doesn't stop, I press it again to force stop, and still doesn't. My PC used to handle this with no problem before, even though it's a large file. It has been 'Stopping Recording' for an hour now. I was recording in mp4, so...

The title is self-explanatory. The problem happens suddenly, after approximately 30min/1h30min of transmission, and, sometimes, it "corrects" itself. It usually lasts more than half an hour. Which is extremely annoying. I've tried everything. All possible configurations. Both output and video. I...

I like to be able to capture gameplay in a format that is ready for editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. Which is why I still use Dxtory. When I record with Dxtory the file I get in the end allows me to import the file into Premiere with all the audio tracks onto the timeline without transcoding, but...

Hey, I'm looking for the best encoding settings while recording at 1920x1080p 60fps. I listed my specs below if that helps at all. I currently use 12000 bitrate on x264. It doesn't look good, I tried 25000 and it still looks terrible. SPECS: Microsoft Windows 10 Ryzen 5 2600 AMD Radeon RX570...

Hello! Last month I got a new PC and I installed OBS to record some gameplays, I use it to record my switch games and sometimes PC games except I cannot seem to stop getting "Encoding Overload" and I've tried turning down recording settings, changing to x264 and even lower the output. I'm...

hey guys, i've been using macbook air m1 16gb for a couple of weeks for streaming and i am generally happy with the performance, m1 is an absolute beast. but, the "x264" encoding in obs' current state (lack of m1 compatibility) leaves a lot to be desired. it's almost impossible to stream at...
