Question / Help OBS & VP9 codec - record or stream?

[cull]

Hello everybody.
How to stream / record in the codec VP9?

 

[cull]

Nobody knows? No professionals?

 

[TryHD]

Professionals don't use OBS or VP9

For any codecs other than the default H.264 and AAC you have to use use ffmpeg output.

If you set the container to WebM it will default to libvpx-vp9 and libopus. Good luck!

Are you streaming to Twitch/Youtube/...? Because those don't handle VP9.

Thanks for the reply, but ..
Did before. There's an error, does not record, libvpx-vp9.

Ah yes, I tried it myself. You're right. The log shows this:

Failed to open audio codec: Invalid argument

The included ffmpeg library is probably not compiled with --enable-libopus (I assume that's it)

You have to check the box that says "Show all codecs (even if potentially incompatible)"

And select libvorbis as your audio codec.

I tried it just now. VP9 + Vorbis. Works fine :)

Anynoe know the fix for this? I am still wondering about this

 

[Boildown]

What happens when you try it?

 

[trooose]

It crashes fam

 

[trooose]

Anyone know a solution?

 

[Felixkruemel]

Is there still no solution to this problem?

I even would choose another ffmpeg so that it works (since this is cearly an issue in the packed ffmpeg which comes with obs) but I don't know how.

I have seen a other forum saying that VP9 is CPU intensive and cannot be used in realtime encoding, I'm not sure but crashes on mine i5-8265U too.

It's true that it's CPU heavy but I don't use OBS for recording of games and only record in 25fps for some projects. My PC should be able to handle it with an Ryzen 7 3800X.

I would say the crash report says that the inbuilt ffmpeg can't initialize the encoder. (While encoding an separate video with another ffmpeg variant works flawlessly on my rig). So there definitely is something buggy there.
