OBS or Xsplit

[David Barnes]

Ok guys I'm sure this has been done before but when ever I search this it's always XSplit fans and OBS fans having a good swing at each other. I'm a streamer and a gamer...I have no affiliation to XSplit or OBS...I just want to know which you guys thing is best and which uses the least resources. Obviously here on this forum it's probably gonna be "OBS is best"...so please put your money where you mouth is. I've created two videos with XSplit and OBS, then split them in half, matched them frame by frame and uploaded it to YouTube. Please can you watch, decide which you think is best and vote (you wont know which is which). I will be doing a follow up video once I have enough votes/results!

Both use the same encoder, the comparison does not really make sense.

Both programs use x264 to encode and Youtube transcodes all uploads so we aren't seeing the original output anyway. Users should use the program that best meets their needs, there is no reason to have a poll about it.
