Question / Help GFX card not detected - no RGB - which tune - help plz

[PHY]

Hello there,

in first a big THX to Jim for adding support for the Hauppauge HD PVR2 Gaming Edition Box in the latest testrelease - if i had 10 thumbs i would put them all up so happy iam about that. :)

However iam experiencing some issues regarding the settings of the actual testversion:

1. My graphicscard is not detected at all and with that not selectable - iam using a Powercolor HD 5830 in my encoding machine - could you add support for that card in the next testversion plz ?

2. In the advanced tab there is only a colorsheme named "NV12" which is greyed out and below two YUV settings - iam from central europe, shouldnt RGB be selectable there ? I have no clue at all what to set in these two YUV settings or to just leave them default ?

3. In the advanced tab where bitrate, buffer and keyframe can be adjusted there is also an option named "tune" with various selectable settings - which of them should i select for a high motion game when having 6mb upload and using medium preset 1080p 30fps encoding with a 3930k cpu ?

Thx in advance for any assist. Thx.

An update:

1. Graphicscard - yet i do not see any handicap by not beeing able to select my graphicscard, recording quality looks good and no problem so far yet, maybe it is recognized but just not displayed by name in that selection field ? i dont know.

2. Colorsheme - same aplies to that colorsheme, there is set NV12, yuv color space 709 and yuv color range partial - quality looks good so i will leave it like that until somebody is so kind to tell me if that are the correct settings.

But a new problem came up:

While i can key in the delay for the microphone to fit the stream, i cannot key in the delay for my logitech c270 webcam to fit the stream. The option buffering is there in the webcam properties and i can select enable, but there is no field to key in the delay values.

Any help possibly ? Thank you.

I can't help you with the microphone but regarding the tune-setting:

This is highly depending on the game, you are playing.
For me (playing SC2) I've tried animation and film. Film produces much better results when it comes to low-motion scenes, it's much sharper. Animation does the opposite.
But with both the video gets heavily blurred, when I move the camera.
So for me I found that no tune is better than with those two.
Both fit video games imo.
Animation sounds best, but actual it is for cartoons, anime and stuff like that, with big flat areas.
Film is for actual films and animated films or games with realistic effects and stuff.

You can just try them out, at best you have a video with high motion and you record the same part with the different tune-settings, than you can decide yourown.

1. If you mean the graphics card dropdown, yea thats currently empty for everyone.
2. You can google the different color formats, but these normally dont need to be changed, thats why they are in the advanced section.
3. I agree with theLazyBum, tune can have a slight positive effect if it fits exactly to the content, but its normally just not needed/worth it.

Video delay for the c270 can be done by adding a video delay filter, just right-click the source, click on Filters, then add the Delay Filter under Video/Audio and choose the desired delay.

@LazyBum - thanks, ill check that out.

@Jack0r - thank you so much for the hint with the filter, i wouldnt had checked that out as "filter" sounds to me like some option regarding quality adjustments and stuff, not like if theres a delay setting behind it. Great, works as desired now. Again, big big thx for that.

PS: Maybe it would be better to put that filter / delay option directly into that cam-menu where the options wheel and the buffering selector is - specially people new to obs will hardly get the idea that there are additional cam-options when rightclicking the source - just an idea.
