Question / Help How do I change Base Media Version for the output file?

[YEH]

Hello everyone, I want to know to change the ftyp of the output file to match youtube's, now I have all the settings as in the file attached and it looks the same as the videos after I upload then youtube processes them then I download (the same tags of info when I right click and Mediainfo) the only difference is the media type version and google specific meta

Format profile : Base Media
Codec ID : isom (isom/iso2/avc1/mp41)
to
Format profile : Base Media / Version 2
Codec ID : mp42 (isom/mp42)

I want to because youtube always gives me a tip that i should change my file into streamable file format

thanks anyways.

Use CBR, not VBR.

Record to MKV to allow streamable youtube uploads.

Although this didn't change the version from mp41 to mp42 and didn't end that alert from youtube It did have a faster processing overall so I think I'll be using it from now on, THANKS.

I like the matroska file format and it's flex. but for some reason the thumbnail program I use and dllhost of windows both have a problem with it, that I had to do a restart after each recording session(I also tried remuxing but it also had some problem), Thanks anyways

Only by remuxing mp4, using fast start options to place index boxes at the beginning of the new file.
Usually not required, because YouTube completely re-encodes your videos. This info (warning) just informs you that content preview and processing unable to start before video fully uploaded to YouTube.

But as for mkv vs mp4.Take a look at this thread too: Stopping recording never ends
Something similar related to this thread is there: Index needs to be swapped in MP4 file

Edit: one more related thread: "Your videos will process faster if you encode into a streamable file format."

There's not much I can do about MP4 files at the moment. I use FFmpeg directly to mux MP4 files rather than my own solution, so it's sort of out of my hands. Muxing MP4 files manually is annoyingly complex, so I'd prefer not to do that.

The general recommendation is to use a different file format or remux the files. There's not much I can do about this because muxing is handled by FFmpeg's libraries, not OBS itself.

No problem, I did tinker around but to no avail, so I asked here, and for your help, anyway, I have been using OBS for years now and will continue to do so. I really love your and the obs dev team work, steadfast on being awesome.
