1920x1200 @ 60 FPS is way too high for level 4.1. Why did you change it from auto?

I believe only one instance of NVENC can be initiated on consumer products. You either need to record using the same settings as stream, or stream with x264.

Not currently, no. The output is shared between the stream and recording. The only thing you can change is the resolution (so you can stream at 720p and record at 1080p, for example).
