Bug Report OBS 24.0.1 defaults to YUV444 when set to record in RGB

Hey there,

Ever since updating to OBS 24.0.1, recording in RGB does not work properly. Both RGB and I444 produce YUV444 files. For example, when using the custom output, both UTVideo and MagicYUV use their YUV444 encoder no matter what.

The only way to get RGB files is to select rawvideo as the encoder, but that's not really ideal. OBS v23 still works like a charm. The issue has occurred on all three systems I've tried.

Any help is appreciated.
 
Chiming in to confirm that this happens in version 24, but not 23. However, even in 24 I can still get RGB with certain lossless codecs: ffv1, ffvhuff, huffyuv, and libx264rgb. Ut Video is more useful for live recording, so this is a pretty nasty bug. And MagicYUV is not in the old version of ffmpeg at all, so version 23 is not an option there.
 
You're right, those codecs do produce accurate files. I just saw your own thread on the matter actually.

I've been using MagicYUV a lot in the past few years, so I was pretty happy to see that version 24 was compiled with a newer version of ffmpeg. Hopefully it will be resolved soon.
