Not sure why my last comment was deleted, but thank you for this. I just tried it out earlier and it worked! Hopefully this video can spread awareness about this issue.
I don't think people understand just how valuable this is. I have spent HOURS researching this issue and this is the best solution. Variable frame rate (VFR) is a huge problem for video editors. They rely on constant frame rate (CFR) to have smooth playback. This is especially the case when creating proxies. The proxies created off of VFR footage will entirely freeze up and run worse than the footage without the proxies. You should have a much more faster editing experience if you use his method, then you create proxies, then just delete the proxies after the project is completed.
Just wanted to comment again to stress THIS IS PURE GOLD! THIS IS THE SOLUTION TO A HUGE PROBLEM that OBS and Adobe need to correct. OBS could do this by allowing you to choose a CFR FPS at Remux. Adobe could fix this by allowing their Media encoder to change VFR to CFR when creating proxies like what handbrake and Shutter Encoder do... SMH adobe and OBS. Leading the industry, but not solving basic, fundamental problems for YEARS...
Hey dude! The link in the description takes me to a .tar.xz file download. I didn't have the same files you had after extracting, resulting in no ffmpeg.exe file. Not sure I understood properly, Any help would be appreciated as my Mkv files haven't been remuxing properly!
You're downloading the source code. When you click the link, you're clicking the big green button by mistake. Look down and to the left and there's a section that says "download executable".
Got a question. I have like hour and two hour long MKV recording, and when I remuxed in OBS the remuxed video was only 9 minutes 30 seconds long for all of the different videos that I remuxed. Will this be solved doing this? Cause I wanted to get the full recording remuxed.
Bummer man this isn't working for me. It creates the Mp4 but its not playable. Not even VLC can play it. :( VLC Logged: main: one instance mode ENABLED main: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. cache_read error: cannot pre fill buffer mjpeg error: cannot peek
I had an issue where some of my mkv files would not remux on obs. I tried this and they still do not convert, it ends up with an mp4 with a size of 0 bytes. It takes a couple of seconds. whereas the ones that work take about 30seconds. both files are similar sizes. Some are x264, some x265, I cant see any obvious difference between the original mkv files. I hope you can offer some suggestions as I have about 30gb of files I have to run through other conversion programs which take absolutely ages to do a single file
I did everything and when I clicked on mkvtomp4 I got an error saying this app can’t run on your pc. Do you know why? So frustrating I’ve always remixed videos this was my longest one and it’s not letting me
That's your problem. OBS remuxing should actually work fine for you since you're doing 24fps. This tutorial is only for videos recorded in 60FPS. @@artheus01
hey friend, I noticed that when I record directly in mp4, I have constant frames, can you tell me if this is in 100% of cases? Is it safe to say that recording directly to mp4 will always bring me a final CFR video file?
As stated in the video, this is only applicable to people who record in MKV and remux to MP4. You will not have this issue if you're recording to any other video format.
cannot figure this shit out for the life of me. im getting the error " '@' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. " i followed everything to a tea. any advice?
Usually when you go to install FFMPEG, it''ll prompt you for an install location. I would try searching for "FFMPEG" or just reinstall it and pay attention to the installation location or use windows search and right click and open file location.
@@zarephlae thanks for your answer. i used NVENC HEVC for recording and my nas got some problems to play this with plex. so i need to convert it to H264 as far as i understood
@@idoxbLack I don't know what Plex is but I would use handbrake like I suggested, I think it should be able to convert it into H264. But tbh, if you're using handbrake, you might as well use it to convert your mkv to mp4 files anyways.
Concise and straightforward instructions. Thank you for the tutorial!

Thank you! Please share this video to spread awareness. Not a lot of people in the OBS subreddit are aware of this.
@@zarephlae Will do!!!
Changed my ffmpeg version / location and used this video again. Once again, amazing tips!!!
This saved about 3 hours of recording for me, I cannot thank you enough for sharing this!! I feel like a hacker now lol.

It should be able to.

I have zero clue. However using process of elimination. If the issue occurs when you remux using OBS. It's worth a shot?
Gosh, thank you!

I want to delete a video file, buut it says that it cant because the file is open in obs-ffmpeg-mux. How can I delete it?
I record in 30 fps and am having this exact same issue.
Yeah, in the bat file where it says "-video_timescale 60". Change 60 to 30.
for some reason it halves my vids framerate. Any solution to this?

Does this work for mac?
is there a way to get the batch file to automatically delete the mkv file after it's done remuxing? ty
Thanks for the link to pages of incomprehensible code. Its like helping me build a house by throwing a brick at my head.
There's only one link in the description, and it's literally just a giant download button. What incomprehensible code are you talking about?
@@UOAPlays I don't see your other comment but you're welcome!
@@UOAPlays Also , DaVinci Resolve natively supports MKV now.
@@UOAPlays Is it the green source code button?

You're converting an MKV file that was recorded in 60FPS?
@@zarephlae no, it's 24 FPS. It does have subtitles and different audios, maybe that's why it isn't working. 🤔

@@zarephlae Oh I see, so the MKV file have to be 60FPS to use this method? But OBS didn't work either for me so I used a programm called Xmedia Recode
In the code I left in the description, you can try changing the value that says 60 to match your fps?@@artheus01

idk where ffmpeg is installed

hello, is there a way to convert/remux whatever x265 files to x264 files with your method and a different command?
Not that I'm aware of, you may need to use handbrake to convert it. Out of curiosity, why do you need to convert it from H265 to H264?
