So, I know that XSplit is going to cost money in a few months from now, so I decided to tweak my stream quality again using FME 2.5 for fun. :D Anyways, my laptop's specs are:

i5 CPU processor @ 2.27 GHz
8 GB RAM
64-bit OS
NVIDIA GeForce 310M graphics card

Obviously, I play SC2 at the lowest graphics settings. And oh, I use Dxtory.

My speedtest.net results are shown below.

My FME 2.5 settings are:

Device: Dxtory Video 1
Format: VP6 at Lower Quality - Best Framerate
Keyframe Frequency: 5 seconds
Bit Rate (Video): 854 Kbps
Size: 640x360
Fps: 25.00
Format (Audio): Mp3, Stereo
Sample Rate: 44100 Hz
Bit Rate (Audio): 96 Kbps

So, we have Total Video + Audio Bit Rate = 854 Kbps + 96 Kbps = 950 Kbps (My internet's max upload speed)

Woot! I'm a happy zergling now.

The reason I switched to FME 2.5 is that my bandwidth suddenly got worse; I used to stream in 650 Kbps with XSplit, but now it gives me the red signal when I test the bandwidth. And it dropped a lot of frames, too. But when I tested FME 2.5's VP6 with the setting, it works better. I don't know why though. But oh well, you should try experimenting with FME 2.5 yourself.

Sorry for bumping this, but I still get an annoying half-second in-game lag when I stream.

I guess I'm not a happy zergling anymore.

I have .5-.65 upload and I don't get lag :o (I do 400kbps stream). Are you getting in game lag or latency? Make sure you are actually getting .8 before streaming by checking speedtest or something

.

If it's just frames dropped, change the location. I changed from default location to east coast and dropped frames for me went away when I randomly started getting it.
