• OBS Studio Gets A New Renderer

  Starting with OBS Studio 32.0.0 a new renderer backend based on Apple's Metal graphics API is available for users to test as an experimental alternative to the existing OpenGL backend on macOS. This marks an important step in OBS Studio's development to adapt one of the modern APIs that deliberately broke with the past to unlock better performance and efficiency gains for end users, but also require fundamental changes to how an application interacts with a GPU. These fundamental changes were necessary to achieve the goals of lower overhead, faster performance, and to better represent the way that modern GPUs actually work, particularly when the GPU is used for more than just 3D rendering. Yet other changes were also necessary due to the way Metal was specifically designed to fit into Apple's operating systems. Due to the sheer amount of information around this topic, it made sense to sp

• Our Plan to Stop Confusing Everyone with OBS Studio Versioning

  With OBS Studio 31 on the horizon, it’s a good time to reflect on how our release process works and how we’ve been handling versioning. Over the years, we've experienced a lot of growth, and it’s been a journey to find the right balance between new features, stability, and clarity in how we label our releases. A Decade of Growth OBS has been around for over ten years now, and in that time, it has grown significantly in terms of functionality, code complexity, and community size. With this growth came challenges, both in development and organization. While it’s a great problem to have, figuring out how to manage these growing pains hasn’t always been easy. One of the areas that needed attention was our release process and versioning methods. Up until recently, we lacked a clear, consistent approach to how we numbered our releases. But with version 30, we’ve started to follow proper Semant

• Writing an MP4 Muxer for Fun and Profit

  (Except there is no profit, only pain) In OBS 30.2 I introduced the new "Hybrid MP4" output format which solves a number of complaints our users have had for pretty much all of OBS's existence; It's resilient against data loss like MKV, but widely compatible like regular MP4. Getting here was quite a journey, and involved fixing several other bugs in OBS that were only apparent once diving this deep into how the audio and video data is stored. In this post I'll try to explain how MP4 works, what the drawbacks were to regular/fragmented MP4, and how I tried to solve them with a hybrid approach. QTFF, BMFF, WTF The MP4 file format we all know and love today is based on Apple's "QuickTime File Format" (QTFF) - mostly just known as "MOV" - which was originally created in the 90s. It was adapted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to create the MP4 File Format in 2001,

• YouTube Renews Premier Sponsorship of the OBS Project

  We're excited to announce that YouTube has renewed their premier sponsorship of the OBS Project! Since they first partnered with us back in 2020, we've made some incredible progress together, both for the betterment of OBS, and the streaming community as a whole. Let's go over a few highlights from the past year that they have helped us accomplish to celebrate our continued partnership. We partnered with YouTube to add support for streaming HEVC and AV1-encoded video over e-RTMP, the first update to the widely used protocol RTMP in over a decade. With the release of OBS 29.1 in May 2023, creators could use modern codecs to stream higher-quality video to YouTube using less bandwidth. To kick off 2024, we've added more e-RTMP features in OBS 30.1 (out now!), enabling creators to stream HDR content to YouTube using HEVC over e-RTMP. We also collaborated with YouTube to embed a streamlined v
