Record to GoProCineform

[ronlonse]

This is a planned feature to record as a GoProCineform video file for easy editing?

Unfortunately I don't believe Cineform (VC-5?) is friendly to free open source software. I don't think even FFmpeg can encode it.

Your best bet is to figure out how to get support for it in FFmpeg, and then OBS can support it.

ffmpeg can already encode to DNxHD/DNxHR, maybe that's a better choice.

Cineform is now open source. FFmpeg refuses to do an encoder because it relies on x86 processors and they seem fairly stuck in their ways, for instance still relying on reverse engineered buggy decoder.

I created an Idea at https://ideas.obsproject.com/posts/311/recording-directly-to-cineform

Hopefully we can get some support for this as I think it would greatly improve many peoples workflow.
