This might be my FAVORITE OBS update... EVER! OBS 29.1 - Lossless Audio, Safe MP4, Better Stingers!

OBS Beta 29.1 Overview

This transcript covers the new features of OBS Beta 29.1, including AV1 support, lossless audio support, and new recording formats.

New Encoder Settings

  • Simple output mode now has an audio encoder option for streaming and recording.
  • Multiple audio tracks are available in the simple output mode.
  • Advanced output mode has many different options depending on the container used.
  • MP4 container has lossless audio in the form of Apple's lossless codec (ALAC), but FLAC is not currently working properly with DaVinci Resolve.
  • MOV container has access to PCM wave uncompressed audio up to 32-bit float.

New Recording Formats

  • Fragmented MP4 and MOV are now default recording formats that won't corrupt when OBS crashes or loses power.
  • Fragmented MOV may have issues with video editor support, but it solves weird time scale issues that MKV files have compared to Adobe Premiere Pro's expectations.

Recommendations

  • The recommended recording setup moving forward will be fragmented MOV with Nvidia HEVC and PCM 32-bit float audio once things are fixed up a little bit.

New Features in OBS 29.1

This video discusses the new features of OBS 29.1, including lossless audio options, AV1 encoder support for streaming to YouTube, and the ability to buffer a stinger transition to RAM.

Lossless Audio Options

  • MP4 does not support PCM audio which is completely uncompressed.
  • There are now five different options for lossless audio in OBS 29.1.
  • Multiple audio tracks are now available in simple output mode.

AV1 Encoder Support for Streaming to YouTube

  • The new rtmps implementation for YouTube allows streaming with hevc and av1 encoders.
  • Nvidia RTX 40 series cards, AMD RX 7000 series cards, and Intel Arc gpus have av1 encoders.
  • HDR is not currently supported for av1 streaming.

Buffering Stinger Transitions to RAM

  • Alpha transparency codecs do not have hardware accelerated decoding, causing frame drops when using custom stinger transitions.
  • Preloading stinger transitions to RAM can save performance and prevent frame drops.
  • Buffering stinger transitions to RAM significantly improves performance and eliminates frame drops.

Conclusion

  • OBS 29.1 includes many new features beyond just AV1 encoder support.
