VideoEncoderInfo

Electron APIs / Recorder / VideoEncoderInfo

Information for a supported video encoder.

This interface extends EncoderInfoBase and adds specific information about the video encoder type and any configurable encoder properties.

Example

const encoderInfo: VideoEncoderInfo = {
  codec: "h264",
  name: "NVIDIA NVENC H.264",
  type: "obs_nvenc_h264_tex",
  properties: {
    bitrate: {
      default: 6000,
      description: "Target video bitrate in kbps.",
      values: {
        4000: "Low quality",
        6000: "Medium quality",
        8000: "High quality",
      },
    },
  },
};

Properties

Property	Modifier	Type	Description
codec	readonly	string	The codec identifier (e.g., h264, aac, av1) supported by the encoder.
name	readonly	string	A human-readable name for the encoder (e.g., shown in UI).
properties?	readonly	Record<string, EncoderProperty>	Optional map of encoder-specific configuration properties. Each property defines a setting that can be adjusted, such as bitrate, profile, or keyframe interval. See EncoderProperty
type	readonly	kSupportedEncodersTypes	The identifier for the specific video encoder type. See kSupportedEncodersTypes
