Fantastic. Been waiting for AV1.

My team uses OBS studio but we rarely update because we have to update multiple devices that need to work in sync and right now it's been stable. I'll be watching for feedback on this one.

What is OBS studio?

is the reason why you don't see "bandicam" watermark on modern videgame footage.

[-] Malix@sopuli.xyz 5 points 8 months ago

was bandicam ever even good? I saw the watermark literally everywhere at some point. I recall testing it out but fraps, dxtory and even xsplit seemed better at the time. Eventually, imo, OBS ate all of their lunch :)

None of that shit was good, it was just free-/crippleware/the only thing people bothered with. OBS is not perfect either, but thinking back to Fraps and dxtory makes me glad those days are over. The fact that it's FOSS is pretty awesome.

I kinda liked dxtory, apart from humungous recordings (due to codecs I used), it performed brilliantly. Kinda sad it hasn't received any maintenance in ages and the dev only seems to remove spam from their forums. Oh well, OBS does do basically everything imaginable.

a video capture/streaming application.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Building off last November's release of the big OBS Studio 30.0 release, OBS Studio 30.1 debuted today as the newest feature release.

OBS Studio 30.1 enables High Dynamic Range (HDR) for HEVC over RTMP support, reworked the image slideshow source handling, an option for automatic cropping to bounding box, GPU rescaling options for streaming and recording outputs, multi-track audio support for MPEGTS, and then a few really exciting features... OBS Studio 30.1 adds AV1 support for the Video Acceleration API (VA-API), AV1 support for the WebRTC/WHIP output, and lastly is video capture device using PipeWire.

The AV1 improvements plus PipeWire video capture are terrific to see with OBS Studio 30.1!

Rounding out OBS Studio 30.1 are dozens of bug fixes and various other incremental improvements.
