In Output > Output Mode: Advanced > Recording > Type: Custom Output (FFmpeg), there is a field labeled “Video Encoder Settings (if any)”. The UI doesn’t give any hints about how this field is supposed to be used.
In the documentation (OBS Studio Help Guide 2017-08-11.pdf), it only says:
“Video Encoder Settings (if any) : specifies custom video encoder settings string for FFmpeg output.”
While I get that this is where one passes parameters to FFmpeg, I have no idea what format it actually expects. I have seen third party tutorials use both dash parameters (e.g. “-crf 0”) and equals parameters (e.g. “crf=0”).
I feel the correct format should be stated somewhere.
“Custom Muxer Settings” is similarly vague.
