[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]If you get an error 'The endpoint device is already in use' at the start of recording

This usually happens when a DAW that uses Asio4all is running (for example, FL Studio), which monopolizes the audio of the system, because other programs besides that program become unable to play or record sound.

If you use Asio4all, do not use the playback device as Asio4all in the program. If you change the device to something like "main sound driver", you can record normally.

For example, in FL Studio 12.0, go to Options-Audio Settings and set it to "Main Sound Driver" as shown below to play back.


Asio4all must be used when using DAW inevitably due to problems such as MIDI keyboard latency.In this case, use Asio4all only for work and stop the Asio4all by changing the playback device to DirectSound at the end of the recording. You need to record.
