Question / Help Encoding with AVerMedia

[itzsu]

The quality that I get from REcentral is amazing. If I were to use those settings on OBS i'd lag really bad..internet wise. I'm not sure how I don't lag using the RECentral, but when will OBS allow AverMedia to do all the encoding and use OBS as a control panel? The reason why I don't like using RECentral is because it doesn't allow a stream delay...which is why i'm asking this because OBS supports the delays. thanks guys

The AVerMedia hardware encoder is not supported in OBS.

Will it ever be supported?

Eventually, maybe? It really is an inferior option to x264, so unless you have a weak/old CPU that can't keep up, it's generally a better idea not to use the hardware encoder if you can avoid it.

If you have a Sandy Bridge or later Intel with a supported motherboard, you can use QuickSync as a hardware encoder.

Friends don't let friends use the AVerMedia hardware encoder.

If I can -ever- get time I may try implementing it in the future, but generally you have to use a much higher bitrate with it to compensate for the encoder quality. Generally wouldn't recommend it for streaming either.
