Color is wrong when recording games.

[Hoyt_R]

Here is about 1 year that I don't try to record game, I just start again the day before yesterday. I upgrade obs to the latest version (auto), and set color relavent settings in advanced page form hdr to sdr because I play the game in sdr mode. I'm sure the hdr swith in windows setting is off, and here isn't such things in the game setting. in detail, now, the setting is color format = nv12, space = srgb, range = full. after recording, I find normal video players show the video obviously oversaturation. In davinci edtor, I must set output color space and gamma to rec.2100 to get the right color on monitor. or I have to use a pipleline in davinci to transform the color manaully. I tried both block magic wukong and the alters, both game has the same problem. Is here any suggestions about what could cause that problem?

If you don't have HDR enabled in Windows, you don't have to configure anything hdr-related in OBS. Just use defaults everywhere. They're sane and usually optimal.

So create a new profile in OBS and don't change anything in Settings > Advanced.
Do Tools > Auto Configuration Wizard and optimize for recording, if you just want to record. Don't change anything from the defaults and from the detected settings.
If you have sources with hdr-specific settings, or filters, revert that by deleting these sources and recreate them and keep their defaults.
Make a test recording and check.

Thank you very much. I finally find out it's the settings of the capture source cause the problem, and the settings of obs is all right. Can't remenber the source setting is seperated from obs settings and you mentioned it.
