Question / Help Local Recording Help

[Raven13]

I can produce extremely high quality videos using OBS local recording option but problem is Sony Vegas can't edit those videos. I tried many setups, looked at tens of guides from YouTube and this forum but I just couldn't make those videos editable with Sony Vegas without a converter.

Problem is you do lose a lot of the quality when you convert those videos. the loss-less extract software I used create videos that Sony Vegas can load but they make the software almost crash and it's virtually un-editable. Either way both process are unnecessary if I just can output a file format that can be viewed by Sony Vegas directly. It would save time and file quality.

Is there a way to output a video file which Sony Vegas can recognize? Or maybe a way to fix SV to know how to edit those flv files? (installing a codec or something?). Help please! :)

OBS is an amazing software and I really don't want to go look for another one because I like how this software works.

Did you try https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-convert-flvs-to-mp4-fast-without-re-encoding.78/ ? What settings do you record with? https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/problem-make-sure-to-post-a-log-and-or-crash-dump-howto.97/

I went to Broadcast Setting (file output only) and under filepath I chose a specific file name and changed the .flv to .mp4 format and now I got a video that I can edit using Sony Vegas.

Now, if this is a bad thing to do please let me know!

Yes, the mp4 file I got out of FLV extract worked!
Should I restore the changes I've made (recording as MP4 using OBS) because I feel that's just not right.

The downside to record directly to MP4 is that it will get corrupted if for example OBS crashes while recording, FLV on the other hand rarely gets corrupted. So it's recommended to record to FLV then remux to MP4, it's so quick anyway.

Thank you Xphome, that was very helpful.

Cheers!
