I've tried it with a few other games and it seems to work fine. If you've paid for Xsplit, you can also add CS as a game source which should allow it to stream in fullscreen.

Ok, so here's problem of me.
Software: Flash Media Encoder 2.5 + UScreenCapture CPU: Athlon 2.8+ (2.1GHz), 1GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce4 MX440 with AGP8X (64MB) OS: Windows XP SP3 Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/nalmesser (never used before) Upload speed: 1,2 Mbps (http://speedtest.net/result/2133489228.png) Problem: Stream doesn't work at all :D And seriously, i did everything correctly. I chose FME over XSplit because of bad computer, even chose older 2.5 version. I downloaded Uscreencapture from links in OP, however my uscreencapture folder is a little bit different: + Show Spoiler + I can't make screenshot of my FME settings, same as I can't use copy/paste in FME - i don't know why. I had to write fms url and stream key manually. Also in my registry, I didn't have VirtualStore folder but created it and did all steps correctly. Settings are: VIDEO: format: VP6; Bit rate: 500kbps; Size: 640x480; 15fps AUDIO: format: MP3; Stereo; Sample rate: 44100 Hz; Bit rate: 128kbps OUTPUT: fms url: rmtp://live.justin.tv/app
I can connect my stream to twitch server, I appear online but nothing happens on stream. Screen is black and there's no sound. I have DirectX 9.0c as it was requirement for FME 2.5, turned firewall off. I had higher bit rate but lowered it. I don't thnink it's problem with connection because stream would lag or drop frames. It just doesn't send stream at all.

install camtasia 4 or 5 dont forget to configure VP6 codec, setting to fastest speed (i guess its too waek comp for better options)
|
Why camtasia and not Uscreencapture? Usc seems much easier to use, i don't need to configure anything. How to configure VP6 codec? Just change video settings in FME? There are available presets in FME but i set everything as posted above.
|
yeah its the best thread atm when u want to learn how to stream
|
Now I discovered accidentaly that stream works only in 1024x768 input size. But i can't stream whole screen while sc is taking only quarter of it. Also colours are bad, everthing is black or white (text in game).
Story is continued today morning... So UscreenCapture works only for full screen resolution and stream works properly when I set my screen resolution to 640x480. Then video is displayed properly and stream shows everything in game. Almost everything because colours still are bad. In game everything is black, only text is white. And anything doesn't lag until I launch sc. Bw lag my comp itself, of course only during stream. I expect that colours bug can be fixed easily but what about sc eating CPU?

In task manager, processes tab, right? I will try this.But does it matter if i don't have 2 or more cores?

wow, helped a lot I didn't test yesterday because i lost hope but today there's almost no lag, at least it's not constant. Sometimes mouse freeze and it is annoying during battles but i hope it won't be frequent problem. Now only colours problem. Most search results says about win7 but i have XP. Also there are advices how to fix it when using Camtasia but I'm using uScreenCapture. I disabled 'Color cycling' in sc menu/video but it didnt help; restart of stream during game didn't help. Reason might be graphic card? I have old Nvidia GeForce4 MX440 with AGP8X (64MB) with newest drivers. I suppose this too because I can't make screenshot in battle net, it's whole black. But in game printscreen works properly.

cause i use camtasia, cant help you with uscreen

Did you try windowed mode for SCBW? I haven't been able to get UscreenCapture to work with fullscreen SCBW so I just use windowed mode.
|
UscreenCapture works properly with fullscreen if I change screen resolution to 640x480; and it's ok. You suggest that w-mode may help with colour bug?
|
Well, the colour bugs I had with fullscreen BW and UScreenCapture was that most of the stream was black with some white showing through, which sounds like what you said.
|
To fix colors Camstasia users have to stop and then start recording to correct colors. I'm not sure about UscreenCapture can do this too. Also on page 9 there is a guide for UscreenCapture and xxsplit.
|
uscreencapture seems only bunch of .dll or other strange files but not .exe so i never launch it. Restart of stream in FME doesn't help. Stream in window mode helps in quality of video and everything looks almost perfect but like i expected, it lags game even more. High priority for sc doesn't help. Mouse cursor works for 5 seconds then 3 seconds freeze and so on.

W-mode usually does not have the colour bug. You can try setting your (desktop) resolution to 640 x 480 and moving the starcraft window so that it takes up the whole screen.
If using W-mode and not fullscreen, try using SCFH: http://koitsu.wordpress.com/2009/09/12/how-to-install-and-use-scfh-dsf/
Set the input as 640x480, see if this works.
|
window mode require high cpu use
|
Even I start FME from command line, which should be less cpu intensive as Fold adviced, sc in window mode still lags. I must stay in full screen mode even w-mode is solution for bad colours. Also i tried to play vs comp in w-mode and stream had almost 300 frame drops during 8 minutes long stream.
It's a shame how many little stupid mistakes I did during setting stream up. But now everything should be fixed and stream seems running properly. I will start streaming tomorrow.
