this was in your log.

MFE is what OBS uses right now for VCE NVENC and QSV, sry, upgrade.

This refers to the AAC Encoder not Video AFAIK @dping

You can see in his log that he tried using MF for video but it failed for whatever reason:

Code:

Just another bump. Still unable to get QuickSync to work on Win7.

I'm not 100% on this, but have you tried starting OBSMP as admin? the 0x80004005 you are getting with Set output type is a very generic error usually meaning that the app itself is not giving the error but another program. This could be qsvhelper or even older intel drivers. That being said, windows 7 drivers for quicksync have been notoriously bad, but they usually experience a crash more-so than it just not working.

Sorry for bumbing this but this issue is still... A thing...
Code: 
[Media Foundation encoder]: plugin is disabled for performance reasons on Windows versions less than 8

Edit: Why is this important to me? Windows 7 is still the most legit OS released by Microsoft. I dislike Windows 8 and dread the thought of using Windows 10 (Had a very bad transfer experience on my laptop... Ended up destroying my Wifi Adapter...)

But there is a bit more to this! OBS Studio offers support for a base resolution of 2560x1440 and a downscaled output of 1920x1080. I have triple 2k Monitors... Would prefer to continue playing at a 2k res that my double Zotac 980ti GTX cards can support.

0.14 is going to have a native quicksync implementation i believe. No more relying on the shitty media foundation encoders.
