[HOWTO]Setting codec-selecting video codec

You can change the codec by clicking the codec button in oCam main screen.
 


You will see a list of video containers and video codecs as shown below.

Supported video containers are MP4, MKV, M4V, MOV, WMV, FLV, AVI, TS, VOB.

Supported video codecs include NVIDIA NVENC H.264, Open H.264, MPEG-4, Microsoft MPEG-4 Part 2, MPEG-4, Microsoft MPEG-4 Part 3, Windows Media Video 8 (WMV8), MPEG- 2, MPEG-1, FLV.

Of these, the NVIDIA NVENC H.264 codec has an NVIDIA graphics card and is only supported by graphics cards with certain specifications or higher. Please note that if you select this codec using a graphics card, recording will fail.

The NVIDIA NVENC H.264 codec uses a hardware encoder built into the NVIDIA graphics card so you can record almost no rack when recording games.

In addition to the video codec, the video container also records sound during recording, so the audio codec is also used. Supported audio codecs support AAC, MP3, MP2, WMA, and FLAC.

In addition, it supports GIF. If you select and record a GIF, a GIF file is created instead of being recorded as a video file.



Additional tips

[FAQ]The sound becomes loud or torn when playing back the recorded video on the daum pot player

Go to Daum Pod Player Settings (After launching Daum Pod Player, press F5 on your keyboard, or right-click to enter preferences.)

Go to Sound-Normalizer / Reverberation on the left as shown below and check Uncheck Normalizer when playing.

 

* For reference, normalize means to set the sound to 0db (dbFS). For example, an algorithm that amplifies the sound volume by 0db when the sound being played is -20db is called normalization. This makes the sound louder, and at this point, you may hear a sound that is torn apart.


(The db used here is dbFS, not decibels.)
