Question / Help Uncompressed audio?

[layarion]

I just want these settings: https://i.imgur.com/mWbBv9w.png but with uncompressed audio.
Im venturing off into custom output, https://i.imgur.com/UBaDF2t.png

thing is, this doesn't give me the CQ Level 17 that I liked in the other menu style. I wish the audio tab would just let me pick my audio codec.

how do I learn what param options there are? and this video codec doesn't have "new" in it, is it inferior to the first image's then?

NVENC is the NVidia ENCoder, using your GPU's built-in video compression hardware to compress the video, with an AAC audio stream. The (new) just indicates it's the new revamp of the nvenc integration on OBS' side, which is a good bit more efficient with system resources.

FFMPEG is a different software (CPU-based) encoder with a lot more options, but requires MUCH deeper knowledge to use safely... it's extremely easy to run into trouble unless you know exactly what you're doing. If you would like to go more in-depth with FFMPEG, Google is your friend... it's a standalone media encoder/decoder project, with extensive documentation.

Honestly, for uncompressed audio, you might consider instead using something like the AudioWriter filter plugin to write out the audio sources as individual .WAV audio tracks, and sync them up with your video in your editing software later:

Ok i'll give it a look. To me the audio is more important than the video when voice is involved.

Just looking at the OP of that link, it looks like it's exactly what I need.

Sure, there's a ton for OBS Studio, many of which add a ton of functionality that isn't present in base form:

I'd especially recommend Xaymar's StreamEffects plugin, the Transition Override Matrix, and Websockets-control as plugins. But really, it can be good to just browse through the whole listing every now and then.
