I have a microscope camera that outputs uncompressed, 4:2:2 1080p60 video via HDMI. I see that my captures are NV12, which is 4:2:0. If I try color format i444 with libx264, everything comes out fuzzy and the resulting output can't be used in vegas at all. If I try using RGB and libx264rgb, I also receive unusable output that is fuzzy/strangely colored viewed in a media player, and unplayable with vegas.
I've tried dnxhd, but it gives an error message instantly as soon as you attempt to record. I've tried prores, but prores only records the first 2 or 3 seconds of video then stops altogether.
I've tried rawvideo with i444, and it splits the image into three duplicates in the video. With rawvideo and color format RGB, it actually works, but that is an awful lot of waste of space.. just insane. I have a six core haswell 3.8 GHz CPU, so I don't mind doing some realtime encoding, but need an option that will do 4:2:2 and look great.
If there's a way to compress to libx264 4:2:2, or lagarith, or dnxhd that works, that would be absolutely amazing. Ideally whatever format I am recording to will be something vegas recognizes out of the box. I am happy to encode a proxy clip in vegas if it is a difficult to realtime edit format, but as long as it is something it supports.
If there is a way to make prores or dnxhd work properly within OBS so it does not give encode errors, or stop recording two seconds into a capture, I would be open to this as well.
Feel free to kick me towards a manual if there is one on how to do this that I have missed
