Question / Help Compression

Hio
Hopefully an easy question to answer for u folks ;)
WHen i use OBS i use .mp4 as default then i import that movie file to an video editor...and then export again to .mp4. Is that wise or do I loose video quality at each step?

OBS' recordings are encoded in the H264 video standard using the encoder you specify in settings - output.
Saving directly to mp4 from OBS is NEVER wise. Save to FLV or MKV and use file - remux recordings to convert to mp4 afterwards IF REQUIRED. (If you're uploading to youtube straight without editing, it is NOT required to remux)

Ty will go with .mkv then for multi audio tracks.
