Question / Help How can I use Custom Output (FFmpeg) to just mux into .avi without reencoding?

[MarioPL98]

As title says. I'm recording with AMF plugin and I'd like to save in .avi container. How can I do this? AFAIK ffmpeg can just copy audio and video into new container. With command line I would do this with " -i foo -c:v copy -c:a copy -o foo" but typing it in muxer settings doesn't work.

Thanks for help.

There is main menu File>Remux Recordings but I don't think that .avi is supported by obs...
Download standalone ffmpeg and remux via command line, if possible.

I can remux by command line in standalone ffmpeg, but I was wondering if OBS can do it. It's not about post-production tools, it's about doing everything while recording. OBS can use .avi but I got it to work only with reencoding.

You want to save rtmp stream directly to .avi file?

 

[MarioPL98]

Yes.

Probably, you need other software.

Is there any reason, why ffmpeg in obs can't do that?

It is not intended for.
