Inability to record in 8-bit (NV12) and be color accurate to the source
Yesterday I fiddled around with OBS for some time to dial in more refined settings to fit my needs
However I quickly discovered that running either NVENC H264, HEVC or AV1 in NV12 Rec. 709 Limited ends up largely impacting the output's color accuracy as I view it in a fresh install of VLC after.
From what I gathered thus far, seeking help from a few other people, is that 10-bit P010 Rec. 709 Limited with AV1 results in exactly the result I am looking for.
The strange part here however is that both my displays are in 8-bit SDR mode, one of them being HDR capable but turned off. This makes me to believe there's something fishy going on behind the scenes that possibly tricks OBS into needing a 10-bit color format in spite of the source being in 8-bit for colors to match.
