I can't seem to figure out how to tell OBS that it should just do one video compression, and use that for streaming _and_ recording. There's no option for it that I can find. If you manage to get both settings exactly the same, will it figure it out, or... ?
So I tried it, and it worked fine - I'm not sure why OBS had the message that "recording couldn't be paused" when I selected "use stream encoder". It prints this out in a rather bold tan below the settings, so I believed it, but apparently it isn't true?

Or maybe, when they say, "you cannot pause the recording", they mean something else, like you can't stop recording frames but keep the file open, and then append new frames later? I'm not sure. Either way, it's fine for my purposes as is, so I'm happy :)

Ah no, Pausing a recording, is where you keep the same file, but have a break in the recording. Stopping and starting a recording is fine, but with a video container like .mp4, you have to properly write the end of a recording, so it won't let you just pause
-
And also means that if OBS crashes, it won't right the end of the container file, and therefore your video file will be corrupt. Which is why it reccomends using like, MKV or FLV or some such container that doesn't mind if the stream of data stops, and then remux to MP4

You can pause when selecting "use stream encoder" but not if you're also streaming at the same time

...Oh right. Yeah. Wait. All what I just said is true, but also yeah I guess you can't do it also when streaming at the same time, so... also that :P
