Amarec w/ OBS via PEXHDCAP60L

Post by korpse413 »

So I am finally getting closer. For (hopefully) the time being I reverted back to Windows 8.1 in order to dodge the dreaded 100% CPU bug that this card has with Windows 10. After doing so I was finally able to play around with my capture card. My main concern right now is a significant quality loss when using AmarecTV as the video source with OBS.

Here is an image for a better understanding (OBS on top significantly worse and not the same quality as AmarecTV on bottom)

I am noticing that I need to check the box of "Custom Resolution" in OBS or else I will get the message of "the frame rate of the video capture card does not suit a preset value. neither recording nor a live function functions normally" (which I learned, among many other things from The Thrillness blog, ty btw :wink: ). I'm also noticing OBS doesn't offer YUY2 as an output when AmarecTV is set as the device, but only offers a greyed out box of RGB32? Is this my problem, is there a way to force it to appear? I am clueless in the realm of codecs, outputs, etc so I am at the mercy of those who do know and am eager to learn more. ANY help is much appreciated. Why are they not identical??
