I'm using H.264 already. I'm pretty sure my computer can handle it as I think upload is the choke point. If I change the sample rate, will I be able to put video up at 500 or is my upload rate going to cap it?

Ok, I'm getting a crazy big ping on iccup.
Upload is .76Mbps so that's 760 Kbps

So if I take 176Kbps off for iCCup and music, I can't put video at 500. Instead I put it at 350 and audio 112 so that should give me a lot of buffer. But I sometimes have 1300 or 2000 ping.

Without all that stuff running I get 250 ping which seems high, but I've always had 2 green bars and never 1 bar. Wired, not wireless.

I do not take any credit for finding this method.

Long time ago, I thought camtasia+xsplit was possible, but it was not. Many users were left to use windowed mode for streaming their games. Windowed mode still has its advantages, but high APM users will realize that windowed mode drops frames compared to the fullscreen mode, which takes some time to get adjusted to.

Few days ago, I saw pro7ect streaming and he was using fullscreen with xsplit. I asked him how, but he only mentioned the program. After googling, I figured out how to get it working with xsplit (thank you pro7ect!)

1. Download uscreencapture and xsplit. Install both programs
2. Download uscreencapture fix and overwrite the files in the uscreencapture folder (C:\Program Files\UnrealStreaming\UScreenCapture). You need this file to hide the mouse, but also to prevent the dreaded black screen of stream from happening.
3. Go to registry and find the UScreenCapture key.

WARNING: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR COMPUTER DAMAGES IF YOU SCREW UP KEYS/VALUES IN YOUR REGISTRY BY ACCIDENT.

On XP, it is located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/UNREAL/LIVE/UScreenCapture
On Win 7, it is located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Classes/VirtualStore/MACHINE/SOFTWARE/UNREAL/LIVE/UScreenCapture
(I'm not too sure about Vista, sorry)

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS, create the keys yourself by right clicking, New -> Key. Think of Key as a subfolder.

In there, you will find 5 REG_DWORD values named Top, Bottom, Left, Right, FrameRate (case sensitive I assume). If you do not have these 5 REG_DWORD values (think of it as files), then create them.

Now, assign each values so that it matches up as follows, in decimal:
Top: 0
Bottom: 480
Left: 0
Right: 640
FrameRate: 30 (30 is the maximum that UScreenCapture can support).

Now that you're set with UScrenpCapture, go boot up xsplit.

Notable bug: Once UScreenCapture is activated in xsplit (as in, it shows up on scene sources panel in any one of the 12 Scenes), do not change settings. I found that you can't change your hotkey settings once UScreepCapture is in use, and you will have to delete from scene sources panel and reboot to fix the problem.

Select Add, Add camera, UScreenCapture.

Now you have fullscreen mode working, along with any additional stuff that you want to add using xsplit.

If you change the values but leave the right option as hexadecimal, pray that you can convert numbers in your head quickly before you screw up the area that UScreepCapture is going to capture.

Pictures always good... But I was just wondering what're the differences/advantages for xsplit over camtasia? will it run smoother/lag less, or it's just easier to throw on overlays and such?
