The VideoLAN Forums

I know that the record button can be used while watching a video to create a clip of any section in the video, essentially making a cropped duplicate of the video. Does this compress the video, lose frames, or in any way lessen the quality for the newly created video? I'm mostly dealing with 1080p/30fps and 720p/60fps if it's relevant. I'm also on Windows 10, but I don't think that matters. I've tried to find more info on this but I couldn't come up with any thing. Any help is appreciated.

The purpose of the record button is to record streams in their native formats, no transcoding is performed.

Thanks for the quick answer and info!
