Windows / Linux alternative to Adobe media encoder

Hi

Just discovered the Open Broadcaster Software project https://obsproject.com/ which is an alternative to Adobe media encoder and has versions to run on Windows, Linux and MAC.

The Linux version could be very interesting to run on a small low wattage platform platform such as Odroid at repeaters sites or other 24 / 7 applications.

It's open source, based on FFmpeg and there are some interesting plug ins such as Chroma Key....

Have fun

Hi Guys,

Bob, G7AVU, is using this to stream GB3VL and we are finding it to be a lot more stable on a "flaky" internet connection as it will attempt to reconnect on time out without user intervention. We found that the Adobe encoder would just shut-down on internet loss. Bob is very pleased with the results so far.

Cheers
