      this is great release, AV1 youtube live streaming was pretty smooth, fragmented mov/mp4 is lifesaver features, finally PCM

          interesting to see that obs cannot stream using opus when using their tradition streaming settings, odd choice

            Would like to point out a Linux-specific fix that bugged me enough to actually go write the pull request to fix it: The Pulseaudio output device selector was actually showing input devices. This change means users can now send monitoring output directly to a Pipewire virtual device.

              Dunno about 29.1 Beta, but 29.0 stable allows HEVC streaming via HSL on YouTube already, so eh?

                indeed, but it's still not AV1 which is way better, also hls streaming is kinda a pain and even higher latency then rtmp.

                  Are the hardware AV1 encoders actually better than the hardware HEVC encoders? In the end it seems the good old and fast x264 is still better than any hardware encoder.

                    yes. hwenc av1 is far better in quality:size then x264 slow within 8000kbps I find. and it gets better the more resolution you crank. x264 is still far better for higher fidelity stuff, but when it comes to streaming, AV1 with hwenc is better
