Question / Help Separate Local Recordings?

I wanted to know if there are any plans to incorporate a separate recording option, similar to Xsplit, where I could stream at one quality level, but record in another so I can get a better quality version for youtube while not overdoing the stream quality and getting dropped frames.

this would really be a nice feature so low quality streamers (like me) can still share and upload hd content to youtube

depending on your setup and cpu capabilities, what you can do at the moment is run multiple instances of OBS

**** WARNING, SEVERE CPU POWER NEEDED ****
create a shortcut to the obs.exe and append -multi
now to use 2 different profiles/settings you can run one obs.exe also with the -portable option. this way it will use the settings files saved in the obs folder, while the other still uses the ones out of %appdata%
you will have to see how capturing your game two times works, and if it does. and you will probably have to tweak your settings alot to get everything smooth.

You will probably not be able to hook a Game two times with gamecapture. Might have to use one gamecapture, one windowcapture for example.
