Question / Help locally recording and streaming at the same time

[Devil6Lair]

I want to be able to locally record myself playing a game which i can then upload to YouTube AND stream to twitch. The problem with the 'save to file' option is that if i Disconnect from twitch then so does the local recording and i will end up with multiple videos which I do not want. I want one full video locally recorded regardless if i disconnect from twitch of not.

I know you can use amarecTV but i have a problem on that front too and nobody seems to have a solution. I do not get any choices in the input box ie composite,S-video ect and i have tried both my elgato (which works with OBS) and my Dazzle DVC100.

Does anyone know a fix for my amarecTV problem or a work-a-round that will let me record and stream like I want? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
If you need more information on my computer, hardware setup or setting please let me know

I don't know about the AmaRecTV problem, but I know that the rewrite of OBS will have this ability, I believe.

In OBS (I have no idea what this AmarecTV thing is), you can use a -multi switch on your OBS shortcut's command line to allow it to open more than one instance of OBS at the same time (I create seperate shortcuts to the 32 and 64 bit versions, easiest way). In one OBS instance, you stream to Twitch, the other, you save to the hard drive.

Downside of course is that you have to encode the content twice. If you're gaming on the PC you're encoding twice on... well good luck with that, this is more for console or 2nd PC capturing, but it might work with a top-end CPU. The upside is that for the local copy you can save a much higher bitrate that you otherwise would, no reason to limit it to what Twitch accepts. For my local copy I put it on SuperFast preset to make it easier on the CPU and crank up the bitrate.

okay after lots of changing of setting and this that and the other i have found a way to locally record and stream thanks to you :) my capture cards for whatever reason would only talk to the 64bit version so what i have done is record locally on the 64bit version and pinned it to the left of screen so it is always in the same place, then in the 32bit version i am streaming via monitor capturing the left of my screen :) Thanks alot this is exactly what i have wanted as i can change both setting like you said and the video will be lovey (it also solved another hassle i had :p).
