“why is my recording so big”

200Mbps av1

“why does my recording not play on my pc in real time”

200Mbps av1

The final export ended up being 6Mbps for those streaming at home

@charlotte CPU's are faster then ever and we have more and cheaper storage than ever, yet we keep inventing new heavier codecs needing more hardware cause the CPU simple can't keep up.

Somewhere I think we might have gone too far.

@maruno
No it was just a misconfiguration on my end

I told obs to use CQP 5 (≈ 200Mbps) instead of a more reasonable CQP 15 (≈ 30Mbps)

@charlotte It is a bit strange you would assume less compression is easier. But it's also large buffers

@maruno
It's the same heavy av1 just 10-50x as much as you'd normally do
