Source Record

Source Record 0.4.8

Hello Guys, i got an issue sometimes. My OBS record the Source what i want. But sometimes, if i use record button few times, it start record my preview screen too, so it produce 2 Videos at the same time, one only Source and one with hole screen.
Im using Encoder: NVIDIA NVENC H.264
 
Hello. Unfortunately, this does not work for me. I have an Intel core i5 and a GTX 1080. I only use my computer to stream with.
When I record/stream, I use NVIDIA NVENC H.264,but I heard this does not work with Source Record. However, nothing I can use will work - software, Nvidia, etc. In fact, whenever I download the plug in and enable it, it completely bricks my OBS and makes it so it can't open, only in the background. The only solution was to revert to a previous back up.
 
My Settings are:

Record Mode - Recording
Rec Format - mp4
Encoder - NVENC
Rate Control - CBR
Bitrate - 60000 Kbps
Keyframe Interval - 2
Preset - Max Quality
Profile - high
Psycho Visual Tuning - ( - )
GPU - 0
Max B-frames - 2

Its working well

I've got a couple of issues with this. I'm running an all amd rig:
Amd Ryzen 7 3700x
Radeon 6700xt
32gb ram

Whenever i download and extract this plugin to my OBS folder, it crashes my OBS, i mean. OBS starts in the background and never pops up. When i delete source record files from the OBS folder, OBS starts as normal. When i tested this the first time, i worked for a small amount of time, i got issues when having the filter on two different scenes with different sources whereas i have a source for Elgato capture and one source for pc game capture. Whenever i started a stream, it started recording the correct source for about 20 seconds, before switching to the Elgato source, which was the last source i added the filter. This do not work anymore though as it just starts in the background.

This plugin is great, but is there a way to basically use this with audio sources? I would really like to record my audio into a separate file since my editing program doesnt support multiple audio tracks...
 
There is one more Problem i found, Pause function didnt work with Source Recording. If i pause record, it
continues record the video.
 
I've been struggling with really high render lag. I get around 5ms per source record filter added to a 1080p source.
 
Is there documentation on using the replay buffer feature? This is the killer feature I've been waiting for, but when I tried to use this like the regular replay buffer, nothing happened though I know that the source is being recorded.

THANK YOU, EXELDRO!
 
Hi, i dunno if someone already had this issu but it seem's that if you ad a source record that always record in one collection and switch to an other scene collection living the filter active obs gonna crash after a few minutes.

Maybe that was a me issu be after i change the filter to "streaming" instead of "always" crash stop.

Anyway not a big issu for a very good plugin.
 
Hello I have an issue with the plugin, when I had the filter to a source then I close OBS, I'm not able to open it again with the scene collection I used. If I want to be able to open it again since it considers somehow that the scene collection is corrupted. I have to delete the collection where the filter is to fix it. Any ideas how to make it work?
 
Hello Exeldro,
I want to thank you for this great plugin.

My question is if it would be possible to record the source in their native FPS? I have a camlink 4k and if I use this plugin on it I end up with a 2160p 60 fps recording instead of 29,97 fps.
 
Plugin 0.2.5 seems to work fine with Audio Track option.

I miss some audio options, like for example bitrate option or "copy audio settings" (by copy I mean share the audio encoding for audio tracks)
 
Hi,

Not sure if its me or something but when i do a recording, video is there but there is no audio unless i use the Different Audio function. But in doing do, my mic gets pick up too.

Is there a way to do a recording that contains the source i am recording with only the audio that is attached to it ?
 
Hello. The plugin is great, thank you for that @Exeldro ! But I noticed one issue while recording my 4-5 hour length streams with it to avoid the alerts on the screen. The recording starts fine, but after a while the audio starts to drift away from the video, at the end of it the audio might get delayed for as long as 2-3 seconds. With the help of Deivedux in OBS Discord we managed to figure out something. We think that it might be skipped frames issue, cause OBS would by default repeat a frame in place of a skipped one, but the Source Record seems to actually skip it and places the next rendered frame instead. So in this case audio is still being recorded for the skipped frames, although they were ignored by the video recording part of the plugin. And thats probably how at the end of a such long recording I have an audio delay of 2-3 or even more seconds, cause I imagine frames are being skipped more than once during such long recording.

Here is a link to the videos that helped us figure this out: https://we.tl/t-D5SBaaCRAy

The one named Gameplay is recorded with Source Record and you can see that it fast forwards those frames that were not fast forwarded in the original OBS recording. Due to that the audio gets delayed when you listen to the player steps.

If the link expires before you can see it, please contact me, so I can send them to you again, cause I have them on my PC.
