OBS ENCODER INFORMATION

Here are some additional details about the different encoders that can be used in OBS Studio:

x264:
This is a software encoder that is available on all platforms. It is a very powerful encoder that can produce high-quality video, but it can also be very CPU-intensive.

H.264 Software Encoder:
This is a hardware encoder that is available on some platforms. It is based on the same H.264 codec as the x264 encoder, but it uses the GPU to encode video, which can significantly reduce CPU usage.

H.264 Hardware Encoder:
This is a hardware encoder that is available on some platforms. It is based on the same H.264 codec as the H.264 Software Encoder, but it uses a dedicated hardware encoder chip to encode video, which can further reduce CPU usage.

HEVC Software Encoder:
This is a software encoder that is available on some platforms. It is a newer codec than H.264, and it can produce even higher-quality video. However, it is also more CPU-intensive than H.264.

HEVC Hardware Encoder:
This is a hardware encoder that is available on some platforms. It is based on the same HEVC codec as the HEVC Software Encoder, but it uses a dedicated hardware encoder chip to encode video, which can significantly reduce CPU usage.

AOM AV1:
This is a newer codec than HEVC, and it can produce even higher-quality video than HEVC. However, it is also more CPU-intensive than HEVC.

QuickSync:
This is a hardware encoder that is available on some Intel processors. It is based on the H.264 codec, and it can significantly reduce CPU usage when encoding video. QuickSync is a good option for users who want to encode video without using a lot of CPU resources.

SVT AV1:
This is an open-source AV1 encoder and decoder library that was developed by Intel. It is a very efficient encoder that can produce high-quality video. SVT AV1 is still under development, but it is already being used by some streaming services.
