As a counter point I could play quite well on my MBP 17 at medium settings. (45 FPS)

Note: I did tweak some minor settings like AA to get better performance.

If I understand correctly increasing the duration just increases the amount of ram required right? How much does 60 seconds take on average?

Personally I'd like to set it to 5 mins which is what I have it set at for OBS's replay buffer. I find its much easier to trim a video than it is to merge multiple videos together.

I guess what I'm really asking is what are the real downsides to giving the user custom duration controls. So long as you provide the appropriate warnings / dialogs in a text box underneath the selections (OBS does that)? It seems like that would only increase the utility of product.

TLDR: Awesome piece of software that I think would be made even better if you gave the user more flexibility with custom durations.

How does this work with multiple monitors? Can I request the option for more control & longer record times? i.e. be able to set it any where between 1s-600s?

For context I downloaded OBS as much like you I was playing Fortnite BR and getting tired of having only static screenshots showing my win. OBS is ok but a performance hog. So your program looks awesome except 60 seconds is to short, sometimes the awesome play I want to share took longer than 60 seconds..

Also I play using an egpu on a second monitor so I only want to record that monitor playing. No reason to record the monitor showing discord.

Edit: I see you recommended quicktime for videos over a minute but as you've mentioned that takes up way too much diskspace to just leave running while you're playing. So I'm really hoping for some more options on the recording length.

Count me in.. It’s at least 3 people...

As a counter point teradata (a ridiculously expensive closed source but fairly complex database) supports this feature. So it is definitely possible for this feature to be supported.

I’m always saddened when I see this feature lacking in so many databases. Especially as Teradata supports this feature so i get to use it at my day job but not on any open source projects.
