It's the BEST container because you can easily convert it to MP4 for use on IOS devices, also you can keep your data in case OBS freezes or crashes. h264_videotoolbox(libx264) is the HARDWARE encoder.
Jun 3, 2019 · OBS on MacOS cannot make use of the encoder hardware in Nvidia and AMD discrete GPUs because the necessary APIs do not exist for MacOS. However, having a more powerful GPU always helps because OBS has to render frames before it can encode them.
Oct 26, 2021 · Nvenc has the nice property of being able to directly encode from the frame buffer of the GPU, so on 1 GPU the raw picture data is not required to be copied even once through the pci-express bus, so 1 Nvidia GPU card with Nvenc (new) as encoder is the most efficient solution.
Aug 22, 2018 · Yes, if you get separate GPU for encoding, you still get dropped frames if the GPU OBS is running on is on 100%. And you cannot set priorities on the GPU (see the edit of my previous post). Now you might think you can try to run OBS on one GPU for composing and your game on a second GPU.
If you have an M1, M2, or other Apple Silicon chip in your computer, you can use hardware acceleration to speed up FFmpeg video encoding. I make a lot of video, and I work with an editor to polish things up before they go out into the world.
Jul 11, 2023 · Apple's M1 Macs, which integrate the CPU and GPU into one chip, perform best with the x264 software encoder. For 1080p streaming, we suggest a 'fast' CPU usage preset and a bitrate of 3500 to 4500 kbps.

People have been seeing CPU usage of 200 and 300% when using OBS and I found a solution on the OBS open source page on github that members made to allow OBS to use hardware encoding which shifts the work to the GPU.
