Comment 2 for bug 1127432

There are problems with VP8/WEBM and GStreamer leaking insane amounts of memory. I'm already talking about this with GStreamer developers. H264 should be much better in this regard.

Can you please specify more precisely what is 'way too much resources'? Too much memory is consumed? Too much CPU? You need a lot of CPU power when recording 1920x1080 video at 15 frames per second and encoding it on the fly to H264 (or VP8). Kazam will now use all but one of your CPU cores.
