On another post someone else did try to look into this problem:
obsproject.com
But I told them pretty much the same thing I said here:
What I am seeing with the TS chunk download I get from Rumble downloads (which .tar file is only thing you get when using a 3rd party downloader) is a varying bitrate around 160. This didn't change with the use of the AAC encoder for me. I had to install iTunes to get the AAC encoder option or Core audio AAC in OBS. Still after this I still got chunks that hovered around 160kbps for total bitrate - data rate. I don't know how the chunks are summed. I am told they are summed so that we can watch one while another downloads, which would be a straight sum and that would mean that we are getting basically 160 audio back. However when I use Rumble to download the stream replay from my own content page I get an mp4 (no chunks) which states that it is 320 or therabouts (I think it was actually slightly different on average than 320) kbps audio (total bitrate - data rate in Windows File Explorer detail view). So is Rumble just giving back what it is told is streamed by OBS and encoding the chunks with that 320 setting? Or is each chunk around 160 like we see in the chunks so the audio is just a deception that we are getting as mp4 file downloaded after the replay is completed by the website? I don't know.
And is Rumble actually encoding each chunk as it goes at a baseline 160 audio bitrate? No one outside of the websites themselves probably knows the answer to these questions.
Odysee is the best website for transparency. It keeps what you send it and actually lets you decide which file that you want.
Question / Help - Audio Bitrate capped at 160.
Hi I use obs for recording and recently I found out that you can change your audio bitrate and that it improves the quality of the audio. Anyways when I tried to adjust it the highest option is 320. I have looked on youtube and the forum and not found any solutions.
