Why lock the thread?

Ok so because they use the same x264 encoder the video will be identical in both programs...it's not possible they can be different? I understand YT trans-codes but it's tans-coding the 2 videos side by side so this should still capture any difference shouldn't it? This was also about resources used which I was going to follow up with...I don't see why you needed to lock the thread and force no further discussion. I just wanted to gauge what people thought without anyone knowing which is which...if the consensus is they're both the same...great.

The difference in quality of the video definitely won't show up in a reencoded youtube video.

ok thanks bud...

To be honest I can't see a difference in the originals so I guess in terms of quality they're the same, OBS does seem to use less resources though but there's not much in it 2-3% difference. But of course OBS is free :) Begs the question...what are you paying for with XSplit?

If you have a question about or dispute over how your thread is moderated PM a moderator directly instead of creating another thread. It was locked because aside from using completely flawed methodology that had users comparing useless Youtube-transcoded output, it really has no place on our support forums.
