Hi guys,
I've taken a read around the forum for any chatter re x265 but cant find an answer to my question, which is, how can I add H.265 recording support to OBS? I'm using the customer Output (FFMPEG) option but when looking in Video Encoder with "show all codecs" checked, I cant find a h265, libx265 or hevc option (except for nvenc which I have no intension of using as its terrible quality compared to cpu encoding).
I read that ffmpeg has supported the x265 codec for some while, so I'm assuming it hasn't been compiled into the version obs is using? Is there anyway I can add it? If not, is there any chance of a future build of OBS with x65 support for recording?
Although I use OBS for streaming games, I also do quite a lot of screen capture. Currently I'm recording native AVI or high bitrate AVC and then re-encoding to H265. If possible, it would be nice to encode directly to H265 :-)
Thanks
Matt
