Question / Help Odd profile behavior using NV ENC H.264 encoder.

[Johnathen]

How come when I record using the NVENC H.264 encoder with Lossless I get a video that uses the High 4:4:4 Predictive@L5 profile but with 4:2:0 subsampling? That just seems odd.

Check your colour format in advanced settings and make sure colour format is set to I444

It's set to NV12, which is what I want to use.

NV12 samples down to 4:2:0
