OBS records/streams in interlaced mode ?

[Manutherium]

Hello gentlemen,

I've a quite curious problem I can't resolve or find any "can't be solved" post on the internets: recorded videos (and probably streams because it's the same encoder) looks interlaced. Here it is with the basic FFMPeg VAAPI encoder, but I have the same result with x264, GStreamer VAAPI, and so on. Happens only with OBS Studio, not other screen recorders. The video is not upscaled.

Configuration:

• OS: Arch Linux x86_64, but same problem with Ubuntu
• GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 5700 XT
• OBS: OBS 28.0.2-tytan652 (but again, same problem with the Ubuntu PPA or Flathub versions), no plugin for the picture above
• Same with Wayland or X.org

Any ideas ?

Correction: no problem with Wayland. But due to the lack of Internet docks and some other problems, if I could use OBS with Xorg…

Probably the infamous hardware decoder bug:

Recording issues in Kubuntu

Hi, I want to record a game with OBS, but they recordings look "torn". I can't think of any other word. (see screenshot) I am using a relatively freshly installed Kubuntu 21.10 without proprietary graphics drivers. My graphics card is a Radeon RX 570, and I installed OBS from the normal package...
