Bug Report Cannot import .mp4 files created with OBS in Camtasia Studio

[db0]

I'm trying to open the mp4 files saved locally by OBS with Camtasia Studio 8 to do some post-processing and it is failing because it claims it's unsupported media or missing codecs. However if I open the same .mp4 file with VLC 64 and use the convert/save option to basically re-save it (saving using original video file), camtasia will open it the resuling file just fine.

I've tried changing the settings which OBS uses for recording of video and audio, but none of them work. Any suggestions?

Here's my latest log file: http://pastebin.com/smxkWTWQ

Try enabling CFR.

Try AAC audio, MP3 is really hit or miss with video editing software.

I wonder if it's the color space changes we made. Camtasia must use a horrible decoder if it's having a problem with this. Can you try it with 0.554, or 0.542?

I've been having this issue since the first time I used OBS about 6 months or so ago iirc. I tried to use 0.54 and I'm having the same issue now.

If you're using CFR, and using AAC (both), and 0.542 fails to create something readable for camtasia, I'd be somewhat convinced camtasia's mp4 reading code is at fault.

That may well be the case. Camtasia seems to be very picky about what it can open. Welp, thanks anyway. Hopefullyif VLC can open the big file I have I'll be able to work around it.

I'm having that problem too. Except with all the editors I have including Imovie premeir pro Microsoft encoder 4. qq

if you run it through handbrake it creates usable MP4s
