I have a 2017 iMac that's fairly beefy (maxed out Radeon GPU, 32GB RAM) and it cannot play back or edit OBS recordings in any software - VLC, DaVinci Resolve, QuickTime, etc. I've tried h264 VT encoding in pretty much all of the containers - mkv, mp4, ts, etc.
h.264 VT 1440p @ 29.97 12,000 kbps + 128kbps AAC
I've tried using the same encoder for streaming and recording, and different encoders for each.
I can see previews for the files and I can kinda play them back - but the media completely freezes if I try to seek, and I can't use any NLE (Screenflow, DaVinci, etc) to edit them. They also can NOT be re-encoded with QuickTime (it will error out).
If I re-encode them using Handbrake or DaVinci's Media Manager - with seemingly all of the same quality settings - then they playback and can be edited smoothly in any NLE.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be? Is anyone else experiencing this?
