Steam Game Recording Feedback

[MrMcFucNugget]

For starters, This newest feature is a godsend for people who want to create content in an accessible manner. I'd say this is a much more faster way to acquire footage for content. However, there are some concerns and essential things that need to be addressed when it comes to this feature:

Bit-rate and resolution:
Whilst the highest option is "good enough", there needs to be more options for Bit rates higher than the ones available. As for resolution, I find it severely lacks any options and just simply records based on what resolution is being played at in-game.

I understand that this is a beta but this is simply UNACCEPTABLE. I at least would have expected for there to be options for what resolutions to record at. Please give us an option in a later update.

Audio mixing and Track Separation:
I was shocked to find that there was no option within the recording interface to manage both in game audio and mic audio including a lack of separating mic recordings. Shadowplay allows for such options.

The fact that I had to go into a games option and turn everything down just so my voice over can be heard, is absolute insanity.

The feature at its current state is completely fine but Valve needs to take these points into consideration. This has the potential to be a great competitor for OBS and Shadowplay but a lot of work is needed for that to be possible.
