My computer keeps crashing, so, does open broadcaster software save the videos while it's recording, so I don't lose anything?
 
IF you're saving directly to MP4, it does not. And that's no fault of OBS. That's the fault of MP4.

Save to FLV or MKV instead.

Do the two formats you said save as it goes?

Will that cause the video to lag more?

Can those two file formats be uploaded to youtube?
 
MKV and FLV both save as recording goes. You might lose up to about 5 seconds at the end of the file in the event of a crash, which is a lot better to deal with than losing the entire file.

Using either will not cause lag (In fact, lag ends up being reduced compared to mp4 in some cases)

Youtube can accept both last I checked.

Thank you for your reply.

Would it lag less if I set it to write the file to a usb drive?
