With the 20.0.1 FFmpeg, you will encounter completely random crashes upon stopping recordings, and sometimes OBS will refuse to record because of a receive_audio error. The newest FFmpeg version is more stable than the one from 20.0.1. If you use the FFmpeg version that came with your latest version of OBS, the encoder will drop frames even though it’s using the correct CPU usage. With the older version of FFmpeg from 19.0.3 in place of the FFmpeg from your 20.1.3 OBS version, DNxHD and DNxHR will encode properly.

Now you need to create the custom FFmpeg outputs. Next, grab OBS version 19.0.3 (Small version ZIP) and navigate to /obs-plugins/64bit within the ZIP file.Įxtract obs-ffmpeg.dll and obs-ffmpeg.pdb and place them in your extracted OBS version 20.1.3’s /obs-plugins/64bit. Make a new blank text file called portable_mode.txt in the same folder as the rest of the unzipped OBS files. You’ll want to grab the ZIP of OBS version 20.1.3 (the Small version) and unzip that to an “OBS” folder somewhere. The following instructions are for Windows

In case where you need 1440p, stick to NVENC or x264. 1440p is not an official broadcast resolution so DNxHD and DNxHR will not work with 1440p. It will require some preparation, but I’m assuming you will be targeting 1080p60 and 4K60. OBS under the “Custom (FFmpeg)” output can actually record DNxHD and DNxHR! So, if you own an Atomos recorder, you know it can record DNxHD and DNxHR (after activation), but did you know OBS can do this too? DO NOT USE THIS IN A MISSION CRITICAL ENVIRONMENT. This will mean failed recordings if unmonitored.

Unfortunately, this one doesn’t deserve to be made into a video because the OBS project has made it hard for people to run this stable.īy agreeing to record stuff in DNxHD, you accept the responsibility and risk that there is a completely RNG chance OBS will crash upon ending the recording, or OBS will fail to start the recording because of a receive_audio: Error writing packet: Invalid argument error.
