THE PANEL'S ANSWER
John

Core Video Pro has a built-in encoder supporting NVIDIA NVENC, AV1, H.264, and H.265; it can handle eight+ program records with automatic CPU fallback when GPU capacity is exceeded.

10:47you can do nvidia's invec you can do av1 h264 h265 those are all available within the app you can record i've had up to eight plus program records that are able to happen i automatically basically once you're tapped out of your gpu it will move over to cpu for rendering um so you're able to take advantage because like an nvidia chip that i have it can only do eight records

11:15um so like once you're streaming right and then your recording program now you're dealing with blending cpu and gpu uh for encoding and trying to manage the buffers for that so you don't end up like losing frame stuff like that it's been a it's been a fun experience trying to figure out but a fairly simple to do and I can uh I can show my screen again um so within the routing
