Several files are being created during video capture

I just started trying the application out, only for video capturing purpose. So far so good, but there seems to be a bug of some sort. I play fullscreen, and if I alt tab out of the game and back, new file is created. If I do it several times, it becomes a mess. If I don't switch at all, the result is one big file as expected.

Is this working as intended or a bug?

 

Anytime you alt-tab out of game it will create a new file, because it is direct screen capture. So, anytime you take what your capturing of the screen it will stop the recording and resume a new file when back in full screen. There was a thread someone opened up about the same issue.

I am sure Unwinder can give a more specific technical explanation, but that is a simplified explanation as I am a simple man.

 

Ah! That makes sense put this way.

To add to my own confusion, I tried later on and no additional files were created no matter what I did, lol.
Anyway, awesome application for this purpose - I had like 30% FPS drop with Fraps, and with Afterburner I can play at maximum performance. Perfect.

I do have another question though. Is there any point in using MJPG compression when I intend to upload the video to Youtube, meaning I need to convert it to x264 anyway?

 

Thanks for clarifying, good to know.
