The video discusses the enhanced video encoding capabilities for AMD users in OBS Studio version 28, particularly focusing on the integration of AMD's AMF encoder with the ability to use b-frames. The use of b-frames is restricted to RX6000 or higher GPUs. Viewers are guided on custom settings for the AMD encoder in OBS 28, such as adding "MaxNumRefFrames=4" for optimization. Details on customizing B-Frames settings, enabling features like PreAnalysis and High Motion Quality Boost, and specifying recommended configurations for RX6000 and older AMD users are provided. Additionally, the speaker highlights Nebula, an ad-free streaming platform, encourages joining Nebula with Curiosity Stream for exclusive content, and promotes a show about the James Webb telescope. Links for further information on the OBS encoder update are shared, concluding with a call to visit CuriosityStream for the best streaming deal.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on AMD users being able to encode higher quality video in OBS Studio version 28 with the updated integration for AMD’s AMF encoder that allows the use of b-frames. However, the use of b-frames is limited to RX6000 or higher GPUs. The transcript also discusses how to optimize settings for the AMD encoder in OBS 28, mainly by adding the argument “MaxNumRefFrames=4” to the custom options box for AMD HW H264 and H265. The video suggests that Jim, the creator of OBS, will likely add a UI element to control b-frames in a future update.

In this part of the video, the focus is on customizing the B-Frames settings in video encoding. Key actions include setting “BReferenceEnable=1” to enable B-Frames, specifying the number of B-Frames to use (recommended as 1), and adjusting settings like “MaxConsecutiveBPictures=1” and “BPicturesPattern=1” accordingly. PreAnalysis is discussed as a feature similar to 2-pass encoding, with the option to enable using “EnablePreAnalysis=1.” The “High Motion Quality Boost” option is also mentioned, which can be activated with “HighQualityMotionBoostEnable=1.” The recommended settings for RX6000 and older AMD users are provided.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses entering HQMB and Max ref frames numbers in the arguments to improve AMD’s encoder’s quality slightly. They express gratitude for the support received on Nebula, a creator-owned ad-free video streaming site, which allows for exclusive content like extended quality comparisons and sample downloads not found on YouTube. The speaker promotes signing up for Nebula through a bundle with Curiosity Stream for under $15 per year, offering access to a vast library of content. Furthermore, they mention a show about the James Webb telescope on Curiosity Stream and provide links for more information and documentation on the OBS encoder update. They sign off by encouraging viewers to visit CuriosityStream.com/epos for the best streaming deal and thank the audience for the support.
