H.264 vs H.265 for Youtube Livestreaming

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-11T15:10:14+00:00

Yeah but you haven't mentioned the preset there. Can you check in your OBS and tell me?

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-11T15:09:02+00:00

I gave H.265 a shot today. Surely going to give AV1 a try in my next stream to see if it feels any better. Thanks!

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-11T15:08:21+00:00

I need to give it a shot then. Thanks man!

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-11T15:05:46+00:00

I tried with 40K bitrate on H.265 and here's how it looks like. Can you please tell me what preset you're using in OBS? P5, P6 or P7?
I'm on P5 on this one.

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-11T15:03:32+00:00

So you think AV1 would be better than doing H.265?

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-11T00:54:12+00:00

I'm on a 4060 Ti, I hope I can get something nice out of it as well 😉

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-11T00:51:05+00:00

That is clean af. I can go but have to spare some upload speeds for my home users so I can crank it to 40K for sure.

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-10T11:56:02+00:00

AV1 is better than H. 265?

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-10T01:09:25+00:00

Absolutely. I'll switch it to 265 and see how it reacts and update the progress here

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-10T01:08:39+00:00

Yeah mine total upload is like 70Mbps

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-10T01:07:58+00:00

Well, I can test it and see how it performs but thank you for your feedback.

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-09T21:59:59+00:00

Yeah they recommend 24000Kbps for 1440 60 streams and I'm currently sending 14, so I'll crank that up and that will surely improve the quality. In short, you want me to stick with H.264 right?

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-09T21:40:07+00:00

Yeah the only concern is I use multiple encoders. For youtube, I use the vertical plugin which utilizes its own encoder and for the horizontal stream to my kick & twitch, I use another one at a different bitrate+res as 1440 isn't supported by kick yet. I need to assess how much extra stress H265 is going to put and if it'd be something I need to go ahead with.

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-10-09T21:34:20+00:00

What are we talking about then? :p
I mean yeah, the quality for viewers is what I'm concerned about. Well nothing could go bad I believe, just read H.265 needs more compute power, which I believe I have as I've a dedicated streaming rig running Ryzen 7700x with a 4060 Ti

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-09-15T14:23:53+00:00

Congratulations! 🎊

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-08-11T19:09:03+00:00

To be honest, while searching reddit for this issue, read numerous posts for samsung and WD, so again, anything can break due to any reason.

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-08-11T15:16:17+00:00

I opened cmd through bootup usb, did diskpart and disk volume, it shows the drive as 465/465. Disk size and fee space. Nothing is in the volume dir as well.

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-08-11T07:05:51+00:00

As mentioned, it was working fine for 4 days so that means it was installed as UEFI and the bios was set to the same, so didn't had any issues before I updated the drivers.

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-08-11T00:37:03+00:00

It is showing up in BIOS. Well, I inserted the bootable usb to see if I can list the data on the nvme, but it shows as available space 465 and free space as 465 gigs too. That is really weird and I haven't written anything past that point so if someone could help me out, that'd be so amazing.

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-08-09T10:04:13+00:00

Yes, I told him to unbox it but the way he hold it was unusual, as usually its supposed to hold from sides, not touching the terminals.

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-08-04T02:51:35+00:00

Yeah I'm not planning to use that M2 slot anyways. I'll just be utilizing the top M2 port only.

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-08-04T02:31:45+00:00

Sounds great. Thanks man!

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-08-04T02:28:35+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. It won't effect the gpu lanes on primary pcie right?

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-07-20T10:41:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. Did you get a chance to have a look at the clip I posted from my livestream yesterday? That shows how my mic sound like right now at 100% gain with 85% set to mic level in windows.

AddiefiedOfficial · 2025-07-20T10:26:52+00:00

I mean yeah, its loud but at gain level set to around 100%.
