Hi, just wanna clarify regarding the Avermedia hardware encoder support.
I saw in one of the thread "OBS vs OBS MP"

Here's an explanation as to why OBS needed to be rewritten: https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/blob/master/README

Features that have been added to the rewrite that were never in OBS1:

* Mac and Linux support
* Encoded capture device support (HD PVR, Roxio, etc.)
* Filters (color correction, mask, delay, scroll, etc.)
* FFmpeg output
* Mutli-track audio recording
* Native .MOV, .MKV, and .TS output in addition to .MP4 and .FLV
* Visual Theme support
* OpenGL renderer
* Different settings for streaming vs. local recording
* AVerMedia hardware encoder support
* Native BlackMagic device support

Things that still need to be added to the rewrite for parity with OBS1:

* Deinterlacing
* Quicksync and NVENC support
* Image slideshow plugin
* Ability to delay stream
* Ability to select network interface
* FPS indicator on status bar

A few things that we want to add to OBS Multiplatform eventually, in no particular order:

* Ability to preview and edit non-live scenes
* Plugin manager
* Transitions
* Multiple stream outputs
* Adjustable UI
* Better source management tools
* VCE support

How do I use the AVermedia Hardware Encoder in OBS MP?
 
As far as i know only the Liver Gamer HD is supported (C985).

You can change the "x264" Encoder in the Menu with "Avermedia Encoder" (only OBS MP)

Wow thanks man~! Have been using the old OBS and isnt familiar with OBS MP yet, Now that u said it, i found it under the advance setting hahaha! Appreciate much!
 
Is anyone able to record at 1080p using this, as when I use the Avermedia encoder option, it will only record in 720p currently?

This is no matter the settings of the OBS application, resolution, fps etc.
 
Hi there, not an urgent request or anything, but I was just wondering, do you know what the ETA on enabling 1080p 60fps on Avermedia as a hardware encoder in OBS Multiplatform?
- I am just talking as just an encoder here and not as a capture device, as I know it is limited to 1080p 30fps for that.
 
Does this only apply to using it to capture content from the given PC?

That is, if you use any of the numerous Avermedia products (including external capture devices), say, with a console -- there are no limitations right?
 
I'm using the Live Gamer Portable with success to capture my game PC, other than the game capture audio delay that I can't get to work. Video capture is good though.

I'm not sure if that'll be at all possible.. 1080p60 exceeds the PCI 1.0 bandwidth limit. 1080p30 does as well, but they cut out some of the colour-information to make it work.

Did you use this encoder for your videos yet? Any chance to see what's the video quality like?
Thanks

Hi syntox, I've just uploaded a test video you can view thru this link, quality wise, its not as good as using fraps but its decent at 60000kbps which i think is the max that we can go on LGHD. I'm not quite sure if there is other settings to make it look like fraps but here's my take on it. I recorded in MP4 btw :)

The video is still processing at the time being as it was just uploaded seconds ago so the quality may not be the best for now :)
 
Hi shoterboyx, many thanks for that. Just for clarification, you used OBS MP with C985 and it's hardware encoder to record that?

Yup, i did used OBS MP + C985 hardware encoder, here is a snippet of my screenshot!
If anyone can correct any mistake that i've made in the setting, please feel free to let me know :>

Thanks a lot! I wonder what is live streaming (video quality)going to be like, assume as the bit rate will be way lower, quality is going to be lower as well..
Many thanks for all your answers shoterboyx.
 
Hahahaha sure you're welcome, just giving back to the community :)

As for the quality im not sure if further updates of OBS MP will improve in quality. Local recording using RECentral have way batter quality so I hope I will get better as OBS improves!

I will give streaming a try soon to see how's the quality like and get back here and share!
 
Yeah, i found few posts on this forum from OBS developers and admins saying this encoder and some other hardware encoders are bad as in output quality.
 
Can you paste your logs here while using Avermedia as encoder during streaming? I can't stream or even record, because it crashes just when I stop streaming. When I click on the Start Streaming button it says 0 kb/s... then crash...
