Question / Help "Your videos will process faster if you encode into a streamable file format."

You really should reading the topic. No quality loss in both cases (streamable or not). It's all about the time when the video will appear at the YouTube pages for all users. First, video uploads, then it re-encodes to different sizes. With steamable format the re-encoding process on YouTube may start as soon as you uploaded first few megabytes of data required for processing. If format not streamable - YouTube just unable to start re-encode and waits until file is fully uploaded, and only than it starts re-encode.

So, if you need something that should be released as soon as possible (and 4K re-encodes slower, first appear for users the 360p, 720p etc. resolutions), it is wise to make it streamable locally and upload this streamable format instead.

@kibblz please contact Adobe Premiere support to ask them how to configure your export (.mp4) for streamable file format ( "faststart" , at least in terms of FFmpeg). Because when video re-encodes in editor - the format may be changed (no streamable any more, just casual one).

I saw your link: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/1526
So I can make my mp4 streamable by remuxing in that dialog? How do I get that option, I'm very confused with that link and how to get it on my obs. It's not premiere that's causing this. It's the mp4 that obs makes when I record. Please tell me how to get that remux feature in the dialog like you show in the link.

@kibblz Generally, by compiling your own obs from the source you can get any feature you want.

As soon as you export videos from the Adobe program - they are no longer obs duty. I strongly recommend you to ask the Adobe about this feature if you need it so badly.

Are you joking? Adobe are useless and don't help lol. I'm pretty sure the issue is from OBS recordings because even when I upload the OBS recording I get that message. It's not Adobe Premiere (even though I don't think they have streamable option.) It seems to work with short videos but if its long and large it always gives that message. I don't know how to compile programs. Isn't there another way to add that feature in the remux dialog? Looks like something that would fix my issue.

@kibblz no jokes, all posted info above is about the "streamable" format ( Stopping recording never ends , for example).
As long as you are using MKV - there is no such message from YouTube.
As soon as you re-encode video in editor... man, you really think that the format will be preserved?!

I'm sorry but I am confused. I'm not familiar with any of this and reading your other posts made me more confused. Can't you just explain to me how to add that feature to the remux dialog on obs? https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/1526
You showed a screenshot once where it had a box on the bottom of the dialog to make an mp4 streamable. I want to do this with my videos. Please help me. I don't know how to compile source or whatever. I just want that feature

@kibblz Unfortunately, it should be placed at ideas page first and then voted up to be implemented (the month it was as an open PR - and it wasn't popular solution at all). There are more than 80 PRs that waits for reviewing right now. The option itself looks like simple, almost one button solution, but it is not like this. This is only post-recording feature and not the work for OBS. The Remux option is rudiment of the application. And new features to it - only means that is something wrong with the production sequence when obs is involved there. Probably, new obs users has no view of whole process of video creation (that includes several steps) and thus ask for the features that can simplify theirs life.

@kibblz personally, I can't compile the application right now, so I can't give you any build that has this function implemented.
