Can you substantiate any of your claims? I've used OBS on macOS for a long time and your experience doesn't correspond to mine.

It's true that there are some performance concerns and hardware encoding isn't available for streaming purposes on macOS due Apple's Video Toolbox API not exposing the appropriate encoder options.

However, I doubt that OBS would be responsible for corrupted video. It uses the industry-standard x264 encoder — if there's a problem with the video, it derives from (A) your settings, and (B) x264. I'm more inclined to believe A than B.

I'm more than happy to use Wirecast if you'll pay for a licence. I and most other people, mostly amateurs, don't have a spare US$599 lying around.
