Thanks for the post, this program is soooooooo much less CPU intensive than Xsplit that it's actually a bit ridiculous.

I've made this analogy before and I'm going to keep making it.

Supporting Windows XP nowadays is like supporting Windows 98 three years ago.

Can you stream Bw in fullscreen with this or do you still have to roll window-mode ?

ever since the new patch when i start streaming its just all black, the sound is fine though. It doesn't seem to be detecting hots anymore when trying choosing an application.

its detecting starcraft 2 now but still all black, even when in window mode.

randomly starts working after i opened it up again... didn't change anything
savior did nothing wrong

Still looking for the feature where you could preview/modify elements for a scene without switching to it while streaming.

Not dead yet. It is still most used OS in Asia. This includes esports giant Korea. Both home users and corporations.

Microsoft still supports Windows XP until 2014. They end support for Windows 98 in 2006.

The operating system is twelve years old and even the company that made it is only providing support for another year. It makes sense why the developers of a non-commercial application don't think that it is a significant limitation to not put in a lot of extra work for some niche Asians.

I don't know how you can say that considering that a lot of people still use XP and are quite content in doing so.

Yes, same here. Streaming with OBS for me is overall better than streaming with XSplit. I got a XSplit license, so that isn't the problem, but like several people already mentioned, the performance is better and even the quality is superior. I can recommend OBS for sure!

This is a very good program, however the main reason why i prefer XSplit over this is because of the Starboard integration.
Is there ANY way to use StarBoard with OBS?

StarBoard uses a ".xbs" file and thats not supported by OBS. Could it be doable to create an OBS plugin which enables .xbs support?


EDIT: Okay i found a way:
Use "Software Capture" --> Capture Window --> "StarBoardDisplay".

However once the Starboard display window is closed it doesnt work anymore and you have to create the source again which is quite annoying. Supporting .xbs would be alot better.

Great program, I have been having some issues with my i5 and xSplit, perhaps I didn't set it up all correctly, but with OBS its been ease and pleasure so far.

R1CH has made a plugin for this. So, yes, it can

Wow. A solid way of streaming full screen BW without too much trouble? Sick.

Streaming for the first time ever. This is accessibility and this is what technology is about. Thanks for all your work on this, Rich. This program seems both approachable and dynamic enough cater to a wide range of users. I test software for a living, and let me tell you, if everything my people made was as intuitive and seamless as this, I probably wouldn't have a job.
