Question / Help Streaming at 2500, recording at 20000 at same time?

[dsr07mm]

Is there a way to do this?
My problem is that I want to stream at 2500 bitrate since I have 3mb upload but I also want to save output file in my PC at better quality for youtube. Only way to do this at the moment is to record with my capture card on laptop but I cant get facecamera there since Hauppauge doesnt support/have feature for capture device over hauppauge recordings.

Anyone tried to do this? I have i7 4770k/gtx770 2gb/8gb ddr3 1600

Thanks.

Not possible in the current version, but possible in future versions (namely the rewrite)

I'm truly looking forward for that. In theory that will use more cpu resources or no ?

I do this now by running two simultaneous instances of OBS. On the target line for the windows shortcut, add -multi. I make additional copies of OBS to a couple new folders, but you could also use the 32bit version for one, and the 64bit version for the other. In this way you can configure OBS in different ways and have them both run at the the same time.

Note that there will be additional CPU costs. I used to make my save-to-hard-drive use a light preset (like SuperFast or UltraFast) with a high bitrate to minimize that, but now I use the NVENC encoder since I updated to a Nvidia graphics card that supports that and the CPU hit from the second OBS instance is essentially zero.

Wow I forgot about my thread but thanks for asnwering Boildown. I also have Nvidia so if you can give me little bit more details on that perhaps settings I would really appreciate that ! :)

Ok I just realized for first time that 64bit folder is in different destination rofl. I made both shortucs and added -multi on both. Now I can run both 32bit and 64bit obs softwares.

I assume that I want to use regular settings for streaming in lets say 64bit OBS, but you mentioned Nvidia encoder so I assume that I should be using that for recording ? From what I've found it provides worse quality ? Just need more info on that :)

There's little to no difference between the 32bit and 64bit versions. You should use the NVEnc encoder at a high bitrate for saving to your hard drive, and the x264 or Quicksync encoder on the other instance of OBS for streaming at a normal bitrate. As for which one you use for which, the 32 bit version or the 64 bit version, it makes little difference (actually none that I know of).

You choose the encoder at Settings > Encoding, the radio buttons at the very top.

Thanks I will try out this with game like battlefield and see do and how much influence make both obs's running at same time.
