1. A computer-implemented method for processing instructions by an online video game hosting system comprising:

  • receiving a control signal for a video game, the control signal being received by a server of the online video game hosting system, the control signal being transmitted from a client device to the server over a network;

    executing the online video game by the server while receiving the control signal, the executing causes generation of a sequence of video frames;

    encoding the sequence of video frames to generate a first compressed sequence of video frames and generate a second compressed sequence of video frames;

    transmitting the first compressed sequence of video frames to the client device over the network for decoding by the client device to produce a first decoded sequence of video frames for displaying on a display of the client device;

    receiving feedback information from the client device, the feedback information used to determine whether one or more of the first compressed sequence of video frames has been successfully decoded at the client device;

    modifying the encoding of the sequence of video frames in response to the feedback information, wherein the second compressed sequence of video frames being generated with a quality that is independent of the feedback information received from the client device for the first compressed sequence of video frames; and

    directing the second compressed sequence of video frames to a storage associated with the server and wherein the quality of the second compressed sequence of video frames is higher than a quality of the first compressed sequence of video frames.
