THIS GUIDE IS NOT INTENDED FOR STREAMING SC2. THIS IS A SPECIAL GUIDE FOR SC1.





EDIT: IF YOU HAVE ANY BUGS/PROBLEMS, PLEASE READ THE THREAD BEFORE ASKING FOR HELP. DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THIS. POST YOUR PROBLEM IN THIS THREAD IF IT HASN'T BEEN SOLVED YET

DISCLAIMER - READ IF YOU PLAN ON PUTTING THIS GUIDE TO USE

I am not an expert on this subject. The only reason I know how it works is cause I spent 4 hours messing around with different programs and different settings. Some configuration settings I advise in this guide might not be optimal, or even necessary. What I do know is that Camtasia 4 is a buggy program, and that the SC engine is a total bitch. Some settings can affect your streaming solution in a way you can't even imagine. That's why I advise you to do everything I do in this guide in the exact same order, without skipping steps.
I'd also like to note that I have only tested this on XP. Camtasia 4 doesn't work with Vista. You need Camtasia 5.02 to make it work with Vista. I don't have exact information on how to set it up with those 2 though.


UPDATE: Mogulus changed their name to LiveStream.com. Everything should still work.
UPDATE 2: If you are looking to relay live streams through mogulus like an MBC/OGN stream, read wonkmans guide here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=94495
UPDATE 3: A small recap of some changes, some bugfixes, and general guidelines on streaming can be found here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=98812
UPDATE 4: RaptorX posts a High Quality setup configuration:

Everything is working great and I managed to get it running with a great quality!

my specs:

XP
Core2Duo 2.50 Ghz
4Gb Ram
Sound Blaster Audigy with the "What you hear" option on to pick up mic + starcraft sound... note that you have to unmute the mic on the playback panel so you can actually pick up the sound of the mic in your stream.

ADSL
15,000 kbps Download
1,024 kbps upload

Camtasia 5.02
FMLE 3.0

I am using x264 codec you can download it Here

+ Show Spoiler [x264 Settings] +

[image loading]




+ Show Spoiler [FMLE Settings] +

[image loading]

[image loading]



Now the interesting part...

In FMLE I put some settings that my conection allowed, 350kbps as bandwidth can give great quality so you dont have to use the 500k if you dont want, specially if you cant.

Note that you CANT change the name of the stream, if you change where it says "livestream" on the right side YOU WILL NOT GET IMAGE... at least I couldnt until i changed it to livestream again.

I was using the x264 codec and it worked flawlessly I put the settings there as shown in the images...


As you can see in the next images down there, if you see the little square with green color that is my CPU usage, you can see that is 100% right? yeah encoding takes a lot so... after you know that your channel is live close firefox, trust me it helps a lot.

Also play with affinity and priority settings. I have FMLE in a separate core than starcraft and I have high priority in starcraft so it doesnt lag, I also have CPU Throttling on in starcraft and I disabled cycling colors or something like that on the video menu also in starcraft.

When you start streaming the first cam will be zoomed in... that is normal and that is not the one that you will use. You will cue (If you dont have it done automatically) the other one that says "livestream"

Note that you will not get image for a few seconds probably even 30 seconds... that is normal and still the other people can see your desktop even if you cant see it yourself there in livestream I confirmed that out.

[image loading]


In the last image you can see that livestream picked up my image and my channel is streaming live!



Requirements:

- A good internet connection, with especially decent average upload speed.
- A decent computer, preferably dual core so encoding and SC can run on a different core. Encoding a stream while playing SC can be very taxing for your computer, so if you plan on running 2hour+ streams make sure you have decent CPU cooling so your motherboard wont fry.
- Camtasia Studio. This is not a freeware program. I used Camtasia 4.0.2 for my setup. I don't know how well later versions (I believe the most recent one is 6) work with SC:BW.
UPDATE: Camtasia 6 does not have live output so does not work. Camtasia 5.02 works with SC and Vista!
- Flash Media Live Encoder. This is a freeware program, but you have to register at Adobe.com to download it. Download it here. I recommend only installing it after you installed Camtasia and rebooted after the Camtasia installation.
- A Mogulus account. Make it here by following the link at the top right to register your channel.

Step 1: Setting up Camtasia

Note: This part will seem to have useless parts, but believe me, some of them are really necessary in order to get it to work.

The only part of the Camtasia Studio package we will be using is the Camtasia Recorder. Open it up (and this is where it seems to get absurd) and for a second pretend you're gonna make an FPVod. This means we'll be setting input as a fixed region, with topleft corner at screen coordinates (0,0), and resolution 640x480. Then you go to Tools -> Options and open up the Capture tab.
It should look like the following image:
[image loading]

If it doesn't, tick/untick boxes till it does (duh).

After you've done that, stay in the Options screen, but go to the Video tab. Put Video Configuration on Manual. Verify that the frame rate is 10 frames/second and that the Screen capture codec is TechSmith Screen Capture Codec.

+ Show Spoiler [If you don't see TechSmith Screen Capt…] +

Click Video Compression... and see if it's in the dropdown menu. If it is, select it.
If it isn't in the list, you probably have Vista and ignored my advice in the disclaimer. Shame on you.

Downloading the TechSmith Screen Capture Codec for Vista manually might solve your problems, but I'm not sure.


Make sure Screen Capture mode is still on 'Normal Screen Capture (recommended)'.

Next, go to the Hotkeys tab. Disable all hotkeys except for the Record/Pause and the Stop hotkey. It is of absolute importance that you hotkey these to a key that can be easily pressed while playing SC. I recommend F9 for Record/Pause and F11 for Stop. Don't choose F10.

Press 'OK' on the Options screen. Your Camtasia Recorder screen now normally has a little summary of your main settings. It should (I don't recall exactly) look something like this:

- Capture 640x480 region at (0,0)
- Write to .avi

With to the left of it a clickable image labeled 'Fixed Region'.

Try recording for a second and see if the green 'roster' pops up at the top left point of your monitor. Stop recording and see if there's nothing wrong with the image.

Ok, now we're going to set the live output. Go to Tools -> Options and open the Video tab again. This time, select 'Live output capture' instead of 'Normal screen capture'. Then, click on 'Live Output Setup'. Make sure the Live capture rate is at 10fps. Then click on 'Default Video Format'. Image format should be 32 bit RGB and more importantly you should check 'Custom size' and input Width: 640 and Height: 480. Yes, I know its also listed in the dropdown menu, just do it. Click Ok and exit the Options screen by clicking Ok again.

Now DON'T PANIC. Camtasia is buggy and your recorder screen will look like this:
[image loading]


Which of course doesn't make sense, cause you're not recording to .avi at all anymore, and not only are the dimensions and location mixed up, they're also simply wrong. Somehow though, these are the correct settings. If you got your Camtasia to look like this, with the other settings all like I told you, you have just completed the 'hardest' part. Make sure it still has the 'Fixed Region' image like in the image above.

Step 2: Setting up Flash Media Live Encoder

Hopefully you carefully read the disclaimer and installed Camtasia and rebooted before installing Flash Media Live Encoder.

Start up Flash Media Live Encoder and get the 'Encoding Options' tab open (should normally be open) at the bottom of your screen. Change all the settings to make it look like this:
[image loading]


DO NOT USE TLRAGE AS YOUR CHANNEL NAME

Some clarification:

- The FMS url isn't completely visible. It should be rtmp://fme.mogulus.com/mogulus/XXX/username=YYY/password=ZZZ/isAutoLive=true . Replace XXX by your Mogulus Channel Name, YYY by your username, and ZZZ by your password. Example for the people that failed Reading Comprehension 101:
rtmp://fme.mogulus.com/mogulus/TLRaGe/username=RaGe/password=ImHotForYellOw/isAutoLive=true

- The 'Stream:' field should be filled in with your Mogulus Channel name.

- It is very important that you dont tick 'Auto Adjust' on the right side.

- Don't ever change the input resolution.

- Bitrate and output resolution are flexible. Depending on how good your upload is, you can change these. I recommend testing various bitrates and output resolutions while playing games on Lan Latency, to make sure you don't lag while streaming. If you have an insanely good upload speed, you can even stream in 640x480, making the stream quality for the viewers exactly as good as when they're running the game itself!

- The 'isAutoLive=true' at the end of the FMS URL can be replaced by 'isAutoLive=false' . This however makes it necessary to transition to your live stream in the Mogulus Studio. Unless you want to use fancy intro movies, or give a webcam introduction, I don't recommend using this.

- Definately save your Flash Media Live Encoder profile through File -> Save profile so you don't have to bother setting all this again if it ever gets reset.

- Depending on you sound card you of course might see different options for the Audio input. Some people can choose if they want microphone or Stereo Mix (= "What you hear") input, while some can only just choose their input device, and will have to select between Microphone and Stereo Mix in either their Sound Card Driver or the Windows Volume Control -> Preferences -> Recording screen.

Some problems you might have while setting up FMLE :

-If you don't see the Camtasia Studio Video Capture Driver listed in the dropdown menu, your Camtasia wasn't correctly installed. I don't know how to solve this. Post ideas and thoughts in this thread on this problem, cause a lot of people seem to have it.

... (To be continued with bug reports I guess)

Step 3: Optimizing your Mogulus Studio settings

There's some random annoying settings set on Mogulus Studio when you first make an account. Like that live ticker, and other things. I'll give you a brief look around the Mogulus Studio to make sure you know how to deal with these things, or use them if you find them useful.

Open your Mogulus Studio by clicking here. Enter the channel you set up for your SC stream. (Yes you can manage multiple channels. You can even just become a chat moderator for other channels, but let's not get derailed here.)

Click 'Allow' when your Flash plugin in your browser asks you if you want to allow the Studio access to your hardware.

IMPORTANT: When you're recording with Camtasia, you wont be able to click this button for some reason, so always open up the studio before you start streaming.

Go to the Configure Channel tab at the top left. The 'Channel Page Layout' setting lets you choose wether you want a big screen or normal screen setup for your viewers. While the big screen is nice if you're streaming at high resolution, it puts your chat window below the stream, and makes viewers unable to chat while watching the stream without constantly scrolling. If you're going to disable chat anyway, the big screen is nice.

Now, go to the 'Broadcast Live!' tab. Make sure you 'Monitor Audio' at the top right is off, or you'll constantly hear yourself when streaming. If you have low download bandwith or a semibad computer too, put 'Monitor Video' off too.

At the bottom right, remove the annoying overlays from the 'Overlay' tab. Also, remove the stupid ticker from the ticker tab.

This 'Broadcast Live!' tab is the only internet window you should have open when streaming. It allows you to watch your own stream, change to your webcam input, etc.

If people are being annoying in the chat while you're streaming, go to the Chat tab at the bottom right and you can talk to them there or straight out ban them.

Step 4: Streaming time, baby.

If Camtasia Recorder and FMLE aren't running anymore, start them up. Press your global record hotkey for Camtasia (F9 if you followed my example) ONCE (or you'll pause the stream again). Then go to FMLE and click the green Start button.

If you went for AutoLive=true, your Mogulus channel should now be showing the top left part of your screen with about a 10 second delay. Look at the encoding statistics in FMLE for a while and make sure there's no dropped frames, and that both your input fps and output fps are pretty stable at 10fps (it can drop like 0.5fps sometimes).

If you're correctly streaming that top left part of your desktop with the green roster flickering and the image showing up on your Mogulus channel, it's time for the big test.
Stop your FMLE encoding and stop your Camtasia recording for a second, start up StarCraft and make a replay or random game. Go to Options -> Speed and make sure CPU Throttling is on so your computer won't be running too hot encoding and playing at the same time.
Start the Camtasia recording again and start the stream again. Tab back into StarCraft with one of your friends watching the stream. He will probably see the colours as fucked up right now. Make a replay/game and after the game has started, right after your split, first press your Camtasia Stop hotkey, then press your Start hotkey (in my case F11, then F9). Again, make sure you dont press your Start key twice, or the stream will pause. Stay in the game, don't tab out. Have your friend message you if the colours come out ok. Don't forget that there's a ~10 second delay, so it might take a while till he sees the colours fixed.

If your colours are showing up fine on the stream, you succesfully set everything up.
Next time you want to stream, just start up Camtasia Recorder directly and your settings should still be there. Then start up FMLE, and it should also be there. Just start recording and encoding, and you're live.

Some random issues you should know about:

- You should apply for verification of your Mogulus channel, so the channel isn't capped at 50 users max. Verification isn't hard, you just fill out a little form and upload a channel image and when they confirm you're not infringing any copyright laws, they'll remove some of the restrictions on your channel. It's absolutely free.

+ Show Spoiler [Additional requirement for verificatio…] +

Apparently Mogulus decided a verified channel should have running content at all times. Even when offline, some screen must be running. You can achieve this by configuring your autopilot as explained below

Just go to your mogulus studio (www.mogulus.com/studio ). Then go to the second tab from the left at the top (Manage Library). Import a video from youtube by searching for it and dragging it onto a storyboard. Then go to 'Configure Autopilot', one of the other tabs at the top. Drag your storyboard into the autopilot. Then fill out the verification form with all the required fields, and they should accept you pretty fast.


- If your channel viewers are complaining about a laggy stream, I've heard some rumours that excessive chat activity can lag your stream. You can easily disable chat in your Mogulus Studio.

- When a game is paused in SC, the viewers don't see the screen greyed out. Often enough, if they missed the '.. has paused the game' message, they'll think their stream froze. Be a comforting show host and tell them it's all going to be alright.


TeamLiquid's Stream Status Resources

You've probably all seen that there's a page for ret's stream and mine on the TL server, with the player embedded and the status listed on the TL page. The TL Staff is working on the details of how to get a page like that yourself, and have your own stream listed as Live beneath the Calendar when it's online. Stay tuned for any news on that!

Edit: Info here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=98812



Ok, that was it, this took me a few hours to type up so I hope it works for you all!

I'd like to thank the people who were on IRC when I was testing and giving me advice. I'd also like to thank Greth from SC2GG specifically, since he suggested many possible solutions ( that didn't really work out, but he was very helpful!). Also ret, for trying to get it to work on Vista and being succesful, providing me some more info.


UPDATE Mogulus decided to change the maximum total bitrate to 500kbps for free users, make sure you dont exceed that.

Oh and list any problems you have here, maybe other can help. Again, I'm not an expert on this. I just screwed around and happened to find something that works. Don't PM me with your streaming problems, chances are high other people can help you a lot better.

Any input on Camtasia 5/6 setups are of course highly welcome too.

Looks like the only solution to get it to work in Vista is with Camtasia 5. Ret just got it to work with Camtasia 5, so I'm waiting on his input to get you some more details on that.

Good post - worth linking too, from someplace.
I used to run SC2GG, if you remember that. Come to NHFFA discord. It's where a bunch of old players who all suck at BW hang out, as well as people who like to play FFAs for some reason. https://discord.com/invite/kWNQvnd

Instead of Camtasia you can use VH Screen Capture Driver, which is free and works for me.

I always used this program VH Screen Capture Driver this tho won't work with Starcraft (Atleast not for some people). When you go Full Screen all the colors mess up and there is noway to fix it with VH Screen Capture (I have been trying for 2days) I definitely Recommend Camtasia Version 4 or 5 over VH Screen Capture Driver its easier to use and way more compatible and can do the exact same as VH SCD if not more.

You can put your stream on your own website by going too your

How "decent" is an internet speed supposed to be? I have a meager 45kbs which isn't THAT fast, but it's faster then dial up. Would that be enough to stream something?

Important note: the last Camtasia version (6) doesnt have the "live output" option, you must use an older version.

Thanks a lot Rage.

45kb/s or 45kB/s

big fucking difference if its 45kb/s noway and if its 45kB/s maaaaayyyyyybe. I have 980kb/s and around 110kB/s ~ and i can stream pretty good. Although if you have a 45kb/s upload I would fucking kill myself =p So I suppose you have 45kB/s hehe.

Just give it a try tbh.

I am having huge problems with vista and camtasia studio 5. If I start the recording before alt-tabbing into starcraft, camtasia crashes and exits itself. If i start recording already in the starcraft window, the recording automatically lasts 00:00 time. Recording works fine for non-starcraft related stuff though...

Is there an advantage to using this instead of xfire? Setting this up looks tedious and probably requires good comps specs >,<.

I didn't even test fullscreen mode I believe. I set it up to record windowed in order to assure being able to do other stuff while broadcasting, but the color on rets stream were messed up too in the menus.

I don't see how something can be much easier to use. You select it in the media encoder and then configure vh screen cap with its config (which gives you a very basic dialog). It doesn't really have much functionality, but it does what it does and its free .

The quality is amazing. With decent internet (DSL 6000) you can broadcast in 640*480, you can broadcast more than just the standard ingame starcraft, you can also set an option for automatically saving your stream as a viewable vod, which becomes available on the channel once you finished casting (with an encoding phase inbetween I think).
In case you are wondering, add:
/autoVod=true
at the end of the connection string.

I've also gotten mogulus to run with webcammax after like 5 minutes of playing with it. It doesn't lag too much and I have a garbage computer. It lags so I don't want to play, but anyone with a computer less than 2.5 years old should be able to handle it.

Great job on the guide RaGe!

For the viewer this is multitudes better than xfire simply because it is Flash video so nothing but a browser is needed to watch.

I like this setup more than XFire cause you can control the quality, and therefor the bandwith usage. You can get perfect quality if you have a good connection (xfire qual kinda sucks), and you can get low quality but no lag if you have a bad connection (xfire would lag some people). Also, like h3r1n6 said, mogulus has a LOT of handy options in their studio, like online vod recording. This way you wont have to upload a recording anymore, recording yourself isn't necessary so less cpu lag, and people can just stream your fpvods of your channel directly.

It's just a lot more flexible as a setup. Of course thats compensated by how long it takes to get it to work.

Main reason why mogulus > xfire is because xfire doesn't work in starcraft for people that have a GFX card that supports DX10 like me. If I have xfire in starcraft enabled I get weird black bars all over my screen and so does everybody else with a GFX card taht supports DX10.

and ofc everything rage said.

I'm not a retard I have been fucking around with this stuff for a long time, maybe you should try fullscreen first before making any comments?

The difference is that with camtasia you can stop the record program and start it again and this fixes the colors. This however is not possible for VH Screen Cap. There is just no possible way to fix the colors with VH Screen Cap. Also Camtasia also does what it does and its free + it has shitload of more options + the possibility to stop and start it again which fixes the colors.

No reason to get butthurt. All I was saying is that I did not encounter those problems, because I did not use it in fullscreen mode. I actualy didn't know about camtasia, all the info I have on it is in the op, which tells you to set up a lot of things and:
- Camtasia Studio. This is not a freeware program.

Problem: Flash Media Encoder 3 OR 2.5 wont open

Solution: Still working on that....

Update 04/10: It's not that the program wont open, it's that the program wont stay open after initial start up (starts to open and then immediately closes, not crash). And I think the memory, or lack there of, isn't an issue because it seems to only use 13MB of RAM (at least while not streaming).

One thing I ran into, incase anybody else gets this. Sometimes when I pressed "Start" on "Adobe Flah Media Live Encoder 3", the "Duration" Timer didn't start to count, and after a couple of seconds the log said something like this:
Fri Apr 10 2009 16:29:08 : Session Started
Fri Apr 10 2009 16:29:08 : Audio Encoding Started
Fri Apr 10 2009 16:29:39 : Unexpected error encountered in encoding process.
Fri Apr 10 2009 16:29:39 : Audio Encoding Stopped
Fri Apr 10 2009 16:29:39 : Session Stopped

(this repeats)

The reason it was happening for me was that I use 2 monitors via nvidias "dualview", and whenever the window of Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3 was on the secondary screen, this happened. So the fix is just to move that window onto your primary screen, as stupid as it sounds. Took me a while to find it, hope I can save somebody else the trouble.

Well, I tried doing this, and followed everything word for word.
The quality and such is good, but it seems to be cutting about two inches from the corners of the screen.

during the installation stages theres a page called Live Output Support, it says:
"The option below allows Camtasia Studio 5 to be used as a video capture source by streaming media encoders, video conferencing and webcam applications."

should i check mark this box?

So I managed to follow everything fine, but my screen keeps minimising when I press the "D" key. I think it's the screendraw feature on camtasia 5, but I don't know how to disable it.

Nevermind I'm an idiot (fixed it)

Your input resolution seems too low and the positioning off. Did the test with just recording video (without live output) in camtasia give clear results?

As I said, I'm not familiar with Camtasia Studio 5, but I'm pretty sure this checkbox installs the Video Capture driver that acts as a virtual webcam, and is therefore necessary to be able to stream.

To change to streaming video quality, change the output resolution and bitrate. Don't touch the input resolution. Try to change the resolution and bitrate in such a way that you have the best stream quality without lagging in Starcraft due to lack of bandwith.

And yes, it's normal that your cpu usage goes through the roof. Playing SC while encoding is very tough on your CPU. Make sure you have CPU Throttling enabled in your SC speed options. Also, make sure your case is decently cooled if you plan on streaming for long periods of time, or your motherboard will fry.

I didn't have to, and neither did ret. But everyone else that tried getting verified needed too. Maybe it's a new rule, maybe me and ret got lucky. It's not a lot of effort anyway, takes like 3 minutes to get your auto-pilot running.

for some reason when im streaming on my computer, it lags terrible when im on starcraft, but when im at the desktop, it runs smoothly.
anyone know how to solve this problem?

(some more information:
im running it on XP 32 bit
intel Duo core 3.33 ghz
2 GB ram
Ati radeon HD 4850
and i use Camtasia 5.0.2)

edit:
i just noticed its a camtasia problem.
when i start recording with camtasia, it makes my starcraft lag terrible.
is it necessary to use camtasia 4 when im on xp?

your computer is better than mine but i personally have no problem while streaming
i use camtasia 4, ingame i have no lag but my stream has a big delay and lags because my old connection was horrible, anyways your problem might be because you didnt enter all the data right and that might be why when u open camtasia you start experiencing problems, recheck to see if you entered all the information right

errr.. i wanted to setup my stream so it would get only the bw ingame sounds but i wasnt able to hear any sound on my stream at first, but after i went into my sound card driver and went into the "mixer" tab(i also have the Realteck HD sound card), i muted all the options(CD Volume, Mic Volume, Line Volume) except for Stereo Mix and i set my Camtesia audio setting for Speaker Audio(what you here)

i started getting noise from my stream but sadly it was just like a scrambling type noise(like the one you get when you tune into a non existent channel on cable tv), am i doing something wrong?

Do not change Camtasia audio settings. Let FMLE handle audio input, Camtasia shouldnt be recording audio at all in live output capture mode. Let me know if that helps anything.

Like I said in PM, give a nice and detailed description. Take screenshots of your Camtasia and FMLE setup, the output screen, the screen on the FMLE preview.

Make sure you rebooted your pc after setting the live capture driver standard resolution, and definately make sure you have 640x480 as your input resolution in FMLE.

Like you said, there's been someone else with this problem, and he'll be in a better position to help you than me.

Also, try turning on deinterlace in FMLE if you get good capture while recording with camtasia, but dont get the right image when streaming. If it doesn't work dont forget to turn it off though

I already told you, Camtasia shouldnt be recording ANY audio. It should give the Audio Recording Disabled. FMLE records the audio.

Mogulus released a program called Procaster, that basically does all of this, www.procaster.com

Have you gotten it to work with full screen SC?

Either vent output or input. So either what other people are telling you, or your own microphone.

If you want to get both in on it, you'll need either Virtual Audio Cable, or use headphone splitters and audio cables at the back of your computer to mix them together manually.

ok well i set camtasia back to Microphone as the recording source(audio), on the Realtek HD mixer page i muted all the options again(cd volume - mic volume - line volume), except for Stereo Mix but i still get the scramble type noise, however i could hear some of the bw sounds through all the scrambling noise (like when id hit join or create etc. while i was on a channel i could hear the noise it usually makes on my stream)

rage did u ever get ur stream to work perfectly with bw sounds only?

I already told you, Camtasia shouldnt be recording ANY audio. It should give the Audio Recording Disabled. FMLE records the audio.


any option you switch to in the camtasia audio settings still gives audio recording disabled on the main page

Well i can only stream while bw runs in a window.
I think broodwar makes probs when switching from 1680x1050 to its 640x480.
I always get a black screen with some small lines on the stream.

Ok I'm on Windows 7 and have this running fine, except there should be one more tweak to your guide Rage.

I kept getting the errors in my log from FMLE:

To fix this, the guide shows in the photo of FLME that the bitrate should be set at 650 Kbps, however the maximum bitrate you can stream at on Mogulus is set to a maximum of 500 Kbps, so lowering this should fix it.

I haven't got verified on Mogulus so I guess the maximum bitrate streaming could be raised if you were.

Wait...are you guy buying Camtasia? Im looking at their website and I can only find it for 300ish dollars O.O. Am I doing this wrong or does that just seem way overpriced to me because im a college student?

I am getting this error as well. I changed the bitrate but it didnt seem to fix this problem

UPDATE:

I changed the bitrate down even farther to 400 and it seemed to work then. 500 was still to high for mine for some reason.

Now that I have fixed that problem I have now run into another. I can get this to work just fine with SC in windowed mode, but as soon as I full screen it blows up. The stream starts showing like 80% of my screen as pink and the rest is my desktop. There is nothing of starcraft on there. Any ideas?

UPDATE AGAIN:

Ok my SC shows up on the stream now however it is all colored weird and smeared (best way i can describe it). Its like when the color screws up on streams with camtasia and you just have to hit the capture button to fix it...but I am using VHcapture and I cannot seem to find a "start capture" or "stop capture" keybind or option.

I made like 4posts in this thread why not to use VHcapture and people keep fucking ignoring it zzz VHscreenCapture Drivers Will never work for starcraft broodwar.

also its still 500 nothing changed.

if your connection cant handle it you'll have to downsize output resolution and bitrate even more.

you gotta decide whether you want other people to hear your microphone or to hear your sc sounds. read previous pages to find out how to set it to sc sounds.

Apparently there are some people that are retarded enough (I'm looking at you RoSe, but also at other people) to think they have to put my channel name in their mogulus url in FMLE.

I get an email every single time you do this. Stop it for fucks sake.

mogulus has an adobe flash media server, thats the one you use.

I've got some mouse lagg when running fmle and starcraft at the same time. My computer is probably too slow. Do I dare lowering the fps to 8 or something or will that fuck everything up? Will lowering the bit rate or the output resolution lower the cpu drain? Must I have my channel page open in the webbrowser to be able to stream or can I close that and only run camtasia/fmle/starcraft?

I also have some problems enabling cpu throttling - the option simply isn't there. See?
[image loading]

Anyone else who can't enable it? Would enabling it (in some way) lower the drain on the cpu?

Edit: The image refuses to show up but copy/pasting the url should work.

Wow nice guide rage. However may i ask one question ? I remember when i first used camtasia years ago and deleted it right away because of hard drive space's issues. I mean for a 25 min game for example the .avi file was worth 2GB. Do you think the techsmith thing really make it so it doesn't take that much space in our hard drive ?

are you sure you're using the latest version of SC? In multiplayer?

CPU Throttling is the only way to maybe get it to lag less. If that doesn't help, and you ponly have camtasia/FMLE and sc running, your computer is too slow.

You're streaming, not recording. So it doesn't take up any hard drive space at all.

you sure you clicked on the right links? Everyone else doesn't seem to have this problem. Not to mention it makes zero sense lol. In 99% of the cases FMLE is running on a different pc than the media server, so there should be no requirement.

Like mentioned on this very page, Mogulus decided to cap the upstream limit to 500kbps recently. Judging by the log, thats probably what's happening to you, you're broadcasting at a bitrate above > 500kbps total, and they shut your connection down.

blackscreen = normally means camtasia isnt recording
edit: i see u got it to work, if u want to fix the color turn ur camtasia off and then on again while ur in a game (should be f11 followed by f9).. all of this is written in the guide

Can anyone tell me why my Stream in Mogulus only shows "shadows" and is very dark and black?
I did everything like in this thread.

I'm using a 8800 GTX from Nvidia.

its the same bug as the color bug one turn your camtasia off with f10 and turn it on again with f9 ingame should fix the problem.

has anyone been able to make their sc sounds work for the stream w/o using a mic? I have the audio ticked on to record but the stream always has no sound. my adobe flash only gives one option in the sound device which is "Digital-In (Creative SB X-Fi)

=\ everything is unmuted but still no sound comes through =\, also for some reason my video decides to be zoomed in for no reason at all then sometimes it goes back to normal after like 10 tries with the same settings anyone else have this re-occurring problem?

Yes I have ingame sound, all you gotta do is unmute or enable what you hear in your sound options.

Hmmmm everything is unmuted and/or enabled in my sound options but no sound comes out=\ even the adobe flash say its audio encoding but =\
edit: is it supposed to show in the mogulus studio an audio source? for me it only shows video source (which is camtasia).
EDIT AGAIN: oh man I'm an idiot in the mixer settings i can only have one thing ticked on which is the enable box for pin line input mix, the master input mixes are all greyed out and i cant click them at all

I don't understand why mine isn't working. I've got FMS Connected.. I've hit start and this is what it says:

Mon May 04 2009 19:25:51 : Primary - Stream[aonranged] Status: Success
Mon May 04 2009 19:25:52 : Primary - Stream[aonranged] Status: NetStream.Publish.Start

Mon May 04 2009 19:25:52 : Video Encoding Started
Mon May 04 2009 19:25:52 : Audio Encoding Started

Ok so then I go to mogulus and hit 'Cue' and turn camtasia to record.. and still it doesn't show me streaming..

What exactly is a "decent internetconnection" I've ADSL 3000Mbit/s. My upload is about 40KB/s but if you get to that the game could very well lag ?:O

whats your computer specs? my FMLE eats up 100+ mb of ram and 25% of CPU + SC and FF if your looking at the studio. closing FF might help but more ram sure will.

I have the same problem, stream runs fine, but my computer lags.

I have an E5200 dual core, 2.5Ghz 2mb cache, 4gig ram (only able to use ~3gig) and an
ATI HD4830.

Any advice?


Did you get it to work? Because I've tried to solve this for the past few hours.

I'm having the same zoom problem as GG.Win. Has anyone figured out how to fix it?

Also does anyone know of an alternative to Camtasia 4 that I can use after I install Vista?

Mogulus Stream Inquiry

hi guys, I am very curious as to how people get videos running when they are offline so i played around and got it to work. But the only ones i can get to work are my recordings in the recordings folder on mogulus. I want my own video's so right now I am uploading one to the library on Mogulus, and its at about 60% gonna be another 20 minutes I would assume, I couldn't get youtube links to appear. But I did get past recordings. I want my own video to appear when I am offline. I need help though. Can anyone who knows how give me a PM or respond on this thread so that incase other people inquire about it as well, we can lead them to this post in the end. Please and thanks!

Thats what I see.. the add is at the bottom left. I saw some users (ret/wonkman etc) having the ad at the right bottom... ??!

Seems like there's two different kinds of ads. The ones with the orange border minimize to the left side, and the Google ads minimize to the right. I'll see if it's possible to change it.

Once you tab into StarCraft you have to stop the stream (f11) and then start it again (f9) to fix the colours. Outside of that I'm not sure.

Thats weird. Did you change anything else about your computer setup? Mouse?

Make sure you have the latest video drivers. Also make sure you have cpu throttling turned on.

Make sure you have the latest video drivers. Also make sure you have cpu throttling turned on.


It helps for me by putting SCBW on high/realtime priority in task manager. Also, don't leave your browser open or any video previews of your stream.

By the way, is anyone having problem with stream lagging once in a while? I get these spikes for all people watching, but the video itself is intact and fine when I watch it after it's been live. I've tried playing around with lower bitrate and such, but the problem remains the same. Can anyone help?

Some viewers said there was a patch for this issue, but I somehow doubt it...

Hmm its probably a camtasia problem judging by your problem. I'm not really knowledgeable on the camtasia 5 setup though. Do you have the techsmith codec?

I'd go with 4.02 if I were you... I was also stubborn and tried to set up it with camtasia 5, but after countless hours of bugs and problems I switched to 4 and it actually worked. Not saying it's the same thing for you but it might be worth trying.

The reason why Camtasia works and other capture programs do not is because the TechSmith Capture Codec is the only capture codec that works with BW. If you use another codec, you get the exact problem you're experiencing now.

Well first of all Morrow, Camtasia 6 doesn't work with Adobe.

Are you using Adobe Flash Media Encoder 3? I would try reinstalling Camtasia and make sure you are using the version flash has posted, or you can use 3, I know it works fine as well (used to use that version myself).

Did you reboot after installing Camtasia? You need to (like mentioned).
If FMLE cant find it, your virtual driver didn't get installed. Reinstall Camtasia then.

I don't know if anybody tried this, but currently I'm just using manycam. Basically what you do is just install camtasia and manyCam. (it's free btw) Once that's done, you run manyCam and choose your source (set it to full desktop) and then when you open livestream.com, it will stream it for you right away, you just have to chose the manycam camera (no need to run anything else but manyCam and your browser)

It was easier for me to get it working this way, but I didn't check whether the quality was better or not and how to control when it's recording or not, but it seems to work fine.

I've followed the guide step to step and I've encountered a problem which I actually encountered before when I just wanted to record games. It's not possible for me to select an Audio device or controller, nothing is there in the drop down menu.

E.g. I can't select anything when using FMLE for Audio and I can't select anything when using Camtasia at options ---> audio. Because of this, I'm unable to record and / or stream with sound.

I've tried a few things to fix this, reïnstalling the Audio Controller's driver (not a soundcard, it's onboard) and updating it to the latest version, but nothing worked.

I'd appreciate it if anyone knows the answer to this problem.

The bitrate of the stream XXX you are publishing on the channel XXX is too high.

The maximum bitrate of your streams is 500 Kbps, but your stream is being published at 548 Kbps.

where can i change that ? in flash media live encoder or where ?

Yeah in the Flash Media Live Encoder

Its to high because you have your video bitrate at 500 but also sound for 48 probably,
so together its over the limit either lower your video bitrate or disable your sound.

Whenever I am streaming on mogulus my stream flickers. It will play for 1 second then go black then play for 1 second and so on and so forth. Is this a bit rate or lag issue?

Whats happening? Why can't I stream a smooth video?

You might have to low connection, try to decrease the bitrate and see whats happening. What upload do you have?

I'm having trouble setting up Camtasia Recorder.
I'm using Vista and have downloaded Camtasia Studio 5.02 and when I go to tick off 'Live output capture' under Tools > Options > Video(tab) on the recorder I get an error that says
"The 'Camtasia Studio Video Capture Driver' must be installed to use Live Output.

Procaster can't capture full screen SC afaik. I haven't tried yet, but unless it can use Camtasia as screen capture program, or allows codec change to the TechSmith Capture Codec, it won't work full screen.

Read the entire post please. You can change it in FMLE. Lower the video bitrate to below 450 if you're using 48 as audio bitrate.

You sure you didn't turn on auto-adjust in FMLE?
You're from Australia, so you probably don't have enough upload bandwith to support decent quality streams. See if the same thing happens when lowering output resolution and bitrate.

When you install Camtasia, there's a screen that asks if you want to install Live Output support. My guess is that you just clicked speedily through the installation and didn't see it. It's unchecked by default and therefor not installed on your system right now.

So with the new livestream thing it looks like FLME doesnt work anymore to start the stream. But when I use their built in thing on the website with camtasia it doesnt record at 640x480 even though camtasia said its recording at that and there's no option to increase the video size anywhere on the site. Even when I use procaster. I'm not sure what the problem is but if anyone could help me that'd be great. I've also tried multiple camtasia versions.

Windows Vista 32bit
4GB RAM
Core 2 Duo T9300
2x 8700M GT SLi

It worked perfectly fien with just camtasia and FLME before they had to go and change everything.

hmm connection issues.. are you dropping frames in the log window in FMLE? Did you double check your FMS url and username/password etc?

if the live feed shows up everythings working, you just have to either cue the feed, and transition to cue in your studio or set AutoLive to true in your FMS url in FMLE

i am having a problem streaming the full area inside the capture rectangle. it cuts off about 2 inches around the border and all i get is the middle part. im aware several other ppl are having this problem as well, but wondering if it's been solved yet.

also does the FMS URL really do anything? my mogulus screen can still stream without the url.

Bumping this with a few questions. I searched through the majority of the posts in this(massive, ughhh) thread to see if anyone already asked them and they sort of have been, but no one really answered.

1. If I want to stream the SPL or something and want to stream off my desktop, what do I change to make that little corner that streams in the top left to something bigger or to move it? I know it must have something to do with the 640*480 settings but I'm not sure which one(s). I would assume it's the "Input Size" in FMLE but idk if I have to change anything else too(like in Camtasia). I don't want to change anything and end up fucking myself over =S

2. If I want to do commentary on my stream how do I do that? I read that you don't change any audio input for Camtasia, that it is all done in FMLE but under audio where it says "Device" it lets my either pick my speakers or my microphone. Can I not use both? Can I input the sounds from SC:BW and commentate overtop of that at the same time? I'm hoping to be able to do this for the NA State/province league when I stream live as a ref o.o;;

What about livestreaming Pro League? You use Camtasia, FML again or simple Procaster last? When I'm streaming from Daum or something I have only sound, but screen is black and my firends dosen't see anything. What's the problem?

use Procaster to stream video sources, or use VHScreenCap + FMLE.

Theres a lot of posts about this in this thread.
It's impossible unless:

1. You have a very good sound card that can handle mixing the sources (pretty rare)
2. You use Virtual Audio Cables, a complex software package designed for things like this
3. You do it ghetto style with 2 headphone splitters and 2 audio cables.

still haven't heard of a solution for this problem

about the fms url: it's impossible that you can stream to your mogulus account without the url if you're using fmle, the FMS url tells FMLE where to send the data stream. without it, the mogulus server wont receive a feed.

RaGe I used it, but problem is that everyone hear sound from for example Daum (or any other player that I use) but there is no video. Maybe this's problem with FPS?

Thanks for the answer to question 1.

About question 2, since my stream's audio is whatever my speakers output would it not be possible to find a way to make my speakers repeat what I say into my microphone? This would automatically mix it with the SC:BW sound, no?

No its not a problem with FPS. It's your capturing program that doesnt capture the video for some reason. I'm not familiar with ProCaster, but this is a super common problem with any video capturing.

Doesn't it get resolved if you change the source to the actual program, instead of doing a desktop fixed size capture?

Try searching in the ProCaster help

It seems so easy in theory, but in practice it's pretty hard. This is the reason why in almost all casted shows online, you'll see one person being the observer, and one commentating on Vent, so you can hear both commentary and the game sounds.

The only thing I can imagine working besides the already mentioned things is: go to your Volume Control, Properties, and for your output device, make sure you check all the boxes, then click Ok. If Microphone is listed, try unmuting it.

The problem with this is, with most sound cards, this just gives one big beeeeeeeeep when recording Stereo Mix, or you wont be able to hear your microphone anyway.

It really isn't that easy. If you find a simple software solution to this with a normal sound card, let me know.

I have an AMD 2800+ Black Edition, 4GB RAM, Vista x64. I installed the recommended version of Camtasia and I can stream, but my BW is always choppy. I've tried tinkering with various settings, including disabling hardware acceleration and setting BW to highest CPU priority, both of which helped marginally, but not enough to make it playable.

has anyone else successfully dealt with this?

I'm having problems recording audio from my computer.
[image loading]

I set the audio as the Realtek one, but I don't get any sound recorded from my computer. If I choose my microphone and do a test that works, but it won't record what my speakers are outputting. I've tried to play around with it for at least a good hour or two, but I don't know why it won't work.
[image loading]

[image loading]

^Those are my options for input and output for my sound.

I've tried setting the 'DigitalIn' for my input, but it still doesn't work, and I've tried setting the Realtek High Def audio as my output but it doesn't work either. I've mixed and matched these options for 2 hours and I can't get it to record my in-computer sounds.

Are you fullscreen or windowed mode?
What kind of video card do you have?
Is the stream lagging or the game itself?
Is there a link to your stream working?

No idea, never heard of that error before. Try reinstalling Camtasia and downloading the latest drivers for your video card.

Digital In is a port on the back of your computer to connect it with digital recording devices such as Mix tables, Synthesisers, etc. Realtek High Def audio switches your output to the HD composite audio output ports for when you have a high definition sound system connected to your computer. Both have nothing to do with what you're trying to solve.

The problem is you don't have a Stereo Mix option. I'm not familiar with Vista at all. Have you installed the latest RealTek drivers? If you haven't, this will probably solve your problem.

has anyone else successfully dealt with this?

Are you fullscreen or windowed mode?
What kind of video card do you have?
Is the stream lagging or the game itself?
Is there a link to your stream working?



Full screen
Geforce 8800GS 384MB
The game itself lags
I don't stream because of the lag it causes in game. I can stream my desktop with no lag in the stream or on my desktop, but BW screws me up.

An AMD Sempron is way too low system requirements to be streaming live. I had to overclock my 3700+ to 4200+ to make it run well with 10 fps. If you lower the fps and set V6 codec to lowest CPU settings it should work, but it'll look worse obviously.

Did you try enabling CPU Throttling in the SC Speed Options?


Where is that?

I find my problem for in-game BW sounds and fixed it. I got it to mix the stereo sound with voice recording as well.

I made a little guide here just incase anyone wants to know how to mix stereo sound and voice recording:

I got the same problem like Louder.
Got an Athlon 6000 3,0 GHZ Dualcore, 4850 ATI 512MB, 4GB RAM, Windows XP

TFT @ max details ezez, fallout 3 ez and so on... but BW is so laggy.
When I turn Camtasia recorder off, there's no lag anymore. But when switching on, it lags... it looks like Camtasia don't like BW. I also tried to put SC on CPU 1 and Camtasia on CPU 2. Still no solution.
CPU Throttling is on.
any advice?


edit: BW in windows mode don't lag. But seriously, BW in windowsmode is unplayable. When I turn W-mode to full screen, the lag apears. No chance TT. My stream: http://www.livestream.com/lycan

I set the audio as the Realtek one, but I don't get any sound recorded from my computer. If I choose my microphone and do a test that works, but it won't record what my speakers are outputting. I've tried to play around with it for at least a good hour or two, but I don't know why it won't work.

^Those are my options for input and output for my sound.

I've tried setting the 'DigitalIn' for my input, but it still doesn't work, and I've tried setting the Realtek High Def audio as my output but it doesn't work either. I've mixed and matched these options for 2 hours and I can't get it to record my in-computer sounds.

Digital In is a port on the back of your computer to connect it with digital recording devices such as Mix tables, Synthesisers, etc. Realtek High Def audio switches your output to the HD composite audio output ports for when you have a high definition sound system connected to your computer. Both have nothing to do with what you're trying to solve.

The problem is you don't have a Stereo Mix option. I'm not familiar with Vista at all. Have you installed the latest RealTek drivers? If you haven't, this will probably solve your problem.

I got this same problem too, and it seems that mine is up-to-date.

Are you sure you set up the right section of FMLE properly? I.E. 'FMS URL', 'Stream', Panel Options? Also make sure you have your livestream channel set up properly. Under Brodcast Live, make sure you have video enabled. If it's not any of that you might have installed FMLE or Camtasia wrong or something. If you are using Vista make sure you are using version 5.02 of Camtasia.

I got the same problem, only thing i came up with changing to 1 FPS. Then the lagg dissapeared. Trust me when i say i have tried everything.

But the problem started when i switched to a new graphiccard. I had this old ATI 256mb before.. But after switching to a new the mouselagg appeared.
I have been having a conversation with camtasia about it but nothing helped.. The only thing i can do is to switch back to my old card... But in my opinion its not worth it.

I have tried with other programs but i guess its many out there.

SO if anyone else runing livestream together with starcraft and not using CAMTASIA please tell us!! Cuz i wanna try other solutions..

Probably has something to do with one of your Video Driver settings / Video driver version / some Camtasia setting.

I guess you'll have to screw around with shit to make it work :\

I'm running windows 7 64-bit (which is basically just like Vista), but I'm having trouble.

I have Camtasia 6, turns out it doesn't do the live output thing, as I have discovered when finding this forum.

I have tried ManyCam, but it is too slow in FPS (and nevermind that it doesn't work in fullscreen games, like StarCraft).

I have tried SplitCam, it does not support 64-bit at all.

I decided to look for Camtasia 5, I cannot find this sucker anywhere. Torrents have almost nonexistant seeding for this version, and I don't even think they sell it anymore cuz 6 is out. So what do I do here? Note that I want to be able to stream my screen, PERIOD, at a reasonable FPS (i.e. NOT manycam).

Is it just me or are people just not writing good virtual webcam drivers for 64-bit OS, cuz most of the other ones I find are only for 32-bit, and many were made for windows 95, 98 ..

Thx for a grate guide works perfectly for starcraft.

I have tryed to get it to work with other games/desktop. But I cant change the 640x480 size. I have changed it in option etc but when I press record its still only the small 640x480 "window". Does anyone got a clue about this?
It works perfectly to make a Normal screen capture with 1280x1024. But when I switch back to
Live output capture the region is small again.

Ok, hi RaGe, first off, thanks for your guide!!! With after 2-3 problems being solved and running about 1 or 2 more tests, I think I can successfully launch my first live stream ever where I would be able to commentate games and stream games live all thanks to your guide! (and wonkman and Grobyc)

But in any case, I want to know if I can get some answers and help regarding my remaining problems. Ok, so what's the thing is I got the stream running all fine and everything, but the first problem I come across was regarding my mic sounds. Apparently, I'm using a laptop with a built-in mic where no matter what I tried to do (control panel-->sound controls--->etc), I just can't mute my mic and even when i have my mic onto the mic slot, obviously there's sound..... so I tried everything to mute it and it doesn't mute and basically I'm just dumbfounded on how I can mute this built-in mic so that people won't be able to hear such as annoying fan sound of my laptop cooler and etc....

Second problem is in regards with streaming SC BW where I get a blank screen but... I'm currently using webcammax (wonkman's guide) where I just dled camtasia so until I actually try for that, I'll keep the second problem unsolved for me to solve first..)

Thanks RaGe!

Hello everyone, I recently broke my right hand(June 7th). I started doing casts since I cannot play. A friend would like to cast with me, his friend told us to get Virtual Audio Cable(VAC). This program allows two people to talk and both voices be input into the streaming programs output, thus no echos, no need for mic by my speaker for all to hear his voice, etc...

Problem is it keeps making FMLE non responcive, does anyone know or use this program currently? If so how. If not, are there similiar programs? plz help we are casting a CW together tomorrow and we want to warm up today.

Have u tried playing with CPU throttling enabled?

Also, try setting CPU affinity for SC BW and FMLE to a different CPU (core).

Do you have the latest StarCraft version? It was only added in the last version.

It's at the bottom of the speed options. There's really no way it isn't there.

I've found a few additional optimizations for those of you with Quality of Service options in your router. I have a Linksys WRT-54G and under the Gaming & Applications section there is a QoS option in the sub menu. The following settings will help:

1. In the device priority, set the computer you're streaming from as highest priority. Put it's device name and it's MAC address. To find the MAC address, go to start->run, type cmd, then type ipconfig /all in the command prompt. Your MAC will be displayed in there.

2. If you're connected on ethernet as you should be, figure out which port you're plugged into and set that port's priority to high.

3. In application priority, add the following:

bw1 highest 6112
bw2 highest 4000
rmtp highest 1935


This helped me a LOT.

Your 'problem' is without a doubt the most discussed 'problem' and even addressed in my opening post.

i've made a personal channel but i can't make it verified for some reason. I have already tried 3 times and the last one they sent me this email:

"Unfortunately, we cannot approve your application at this time, due to the following issues:
Unclear permissions:

Anybody else having the same problem? Any tips to make them accept my request?

I recently installed a webcam and it's drivers. It seems to have broken my adobe encoder so that it doesn't show the Camtasia Studio Video Capture Driver in the dropdown menu. I had everything set up fine before.

I suppose I could try reinstalling Camtasia and see if that helps. Any other ideas? Obviously the Camtasia Studio Video Capture Driver should still be installed.

Edit: I reinstalled Camtasia as well as Adobe live encoder and it seems all right.

Just include a statement that you're not broadcasting copyrighted VODs and that Blizzard allows games to be shown without a license if you it's not for commercial purposes.

Livestream.com just released Procaster. You no longer have to use Adobe Live Media Decoder.

Edit: Hmm. Maybe I should have tryed it with Starcraft before I wrote the comment. Its not possible to use "Game" option. BW seems to be to old or somthing. And if recording "Screen" BW is in all black. So the old way with Media Decoder is still the best way for BW. But ProCaster works perfect with new games and dekstop.

I'm wondering if anyone can get their SC not to lag while recording with Camtasia. I have an e8400 so I figure that it should be able to handle it but my SC lags. I have CPU throttling enabled, SC set to realtime priority, and camtasia set to high priority.

My comp lagged pretty bad too. But after reboot recording worked smoothly. o.o

A lot of people with really good computers have lag issues. I don't understand how it happens or what is causing it. Try playing around with core affinities? Giving SC its own Core, or sharing that core with camtasia or sharing it with fmle.

Also try other codecs in FMLE (other than VP6) and see how it affects your cpu usage.

If you find a solution, please do tell.

I got good results (no lag) by capturing with the x264 codec in Camtasia.

I downloaded the x264vfw codec online and selected that as my video codec option in the live output window in Camtasia. I capture at 15fps. In Flash Media encoder, I select H264 as my video codec with settings of 480*360, 436 kb/s, and 15fps. For audio I select mp3 at 64kb/s. Combined, that's a total of 500kb/s, which is the maximum bitrate that Mogulus accepts.

I use a desktop with a e7200 processor (overclocked to 3.2 Ghz) and a ATI 2600xt graphic card. I also selected the option of "keep aspect ratio" in the image scaling window of the ATI Catalyst Control Center.

When you capture with the x264 codec instead of the techsmith codec, your computer runs smoother and your video looks smoother in Mogulus. I still have starcraft as high priority in Task Manager though.

edit: it works on my laptop too. Core 2 Duo (2.0Ghz) Nvidia 9600GT

Did you have the cursor/game lagg before you updated to that codec? And if so, did you do any special settings in the codec?


Ps. What camtasia version do you use? DS:

I have a problem using Camtasia 4.0.2. I followed the guide to the letter, did everything I was supposed to. I get ingame just fine, It streams just fine but once I attempt to fix the colours the screen stays black, up untill i alt tab from starcraft. Once I go back into the game the colours are screwed up again and quickly stopping and starting results in black untill alt-tab once again.

Does anyone know whats causing this or a solution for it?
you spin me right round baby right round like a record baby

The cursor doesn't lag as long as starcraft has a higher priority than Camtasia and Flash Live Media Encoder in Task Manager.

I use Camtasia version 5.0.2. I downloaded x264vfw and I use the settings "Single pass - quantizer based (26)".

If you're low on CPU power, you could download XVID and do the same thing.

Any ideas how we can get the "Procaster" to work? There is no problem broadcasting newer games, but it seems that BW is too old --; as Saafen said: "Its not possible to use (Game) option. BW seems to be to old or somthing. And if recording (Screen) BW is in all black."

And thats the answer I've got from the support team:

"I assume you're referring to the original version of Starcraft, released in 1998? This is much pre-directx 9/10. We support many games with dx8 unofficially it makes sense this may not work -- we will look into options for this, thanks for your patience.

Best Regards,
Cory Frans

Whenever I hit record on camtasia with media live encoder, it seems to work fine. However, when I have the livestream webcaster window open, camtasia always crashes when i hit record. Do you have any idea of why this may be?

I just started it and stopped it a couple times. But now the problem seems to be with the stream. When i stream it, it appears to the viewer as a tiny box in the upper left and he cant make out anything happening besides my mouse movement. I re-read and double checked everything. Just to make sure im doing this right, this is what i do...

(no other windows running)

1.) Start camtasia ( have version 5. whatever) hit f9 which is my hotkey to start live output recording
2.) Click start on fmle
3.) Click Go live in the procaster box with the box "screen" high lighted..
4.) Tab to starcraft and try to load a rep/whatever im doing

What am i doing wrong?

@UBERtoSS_hV make sure you don't exceed 500 kb/s from both video + audio combined in FMLE

and why are you using procaster? lol if you're using Adobe FMLE to upload to the server you don't need procaster which is like an alternative program altogether

Bump but

Suddenly, my Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder (or Camtasia, dunno which) stopped working. My streams work fine, but when I load the programs and turn it on, there's just blank in my channel. It just happened all of a sudden >__<

john7kfc: Depends on the file format. For freeware, try: http://flvtoavi.com/

kona: I've been doing some testing, and I think the problem might be on our end. As a test, you know how livestream automatically records all of our broadcasts? Watch the recording of your most recent broadcast (the one where the problem occured), and see if you can see video and audio in it. It'll give an indication of on which side the problem is occuring.

Edit: I fixed my problem. I don't know what I did though :/ All I did was just restart FMLE, though I'm not sure why that didn't work the first 20 times I did it.

I might as well post in this.

Okay, so here is my only problem now:

I used RaGe's settings and such. I made sure that the total did not exceed 500 kbps.

So here I am with FMLE and Camtasia Recorder. The stream and my channel themselves work fine, except the problem with me is RESOLUTION

Everything is set to 640x480 but everything is so zoomed in and the stream basically shows like a small portion of SC out of the entire game.

If you guys need to know, my OS is Windows Vista and my screen resolution is 1200x800.

Here is my FMLE log:

-------------------------------------------------
Minor problems

1) Whenever I start recording, sound will mute and will never come back on unless my computer restarts.

2) Starcraft lags. I used Enable CPU Throttling, yet it still lags.

clazz: Lower your bit rate. You probably have it set too high to run Starcraft and FMLE simultaneously.

I've had this resolution bug happen to me before, but I never really figured out the source of the problem. From your log, the line that says Resample Required is an anomaly. FMLE basically controls the size of the recording area, but check your Camtasia settings nonetheless.

As for the muting sound, need more information. Do you mean SC sound or can you not hear anything in your recording? Also, what is this Microphone Array that you're recording your audio off of? You should be recording off of Stereo Mix or Virtual Audio Cables, unless you only want your voice to be recorded.

UPDATE: After a quick reinstall of everything and doing it from scratch, I fixed my mistake which I was probably unaware of. I tested it with a friend - Starcraft now runs in the correct resolution.

The only problem is that the stream is very laggy (because of my SC -_-) and that the colors are often messed up.

I set my bitrate to 250, and Starcraft is set to the highest priority from the task manager. Furthermore, I set the CPU throttling. Yet, I am lagging >_>

Umm... It might be your processor that's limiting your stream bitrate. Set your bitrate as low as you can, and work upward until you need to set it to high latency.

over and over again


Had this problem for awhile. You're exceeding the 500kbps bitrate limit. You probably have video at 500 bitrate but the audio is putting it over. The real bit rate you're using is in FMLE and under the audio section, so just mess around with the video until the total is under 500. I hope this fixes your problem.

"
Advanced FME Options

Add any of the following parameters at the end of your RTMP URL :

      /autoVOD=true - This automatically adds the recording to the top of the Video on Demand list
      /autoAutopilot=true - This automatically adds the recording to the top of the auto-pilot playlist
      Aspect Ratio Conversion support :
            /aspectWidth=[number] - If your input camera/feed is not 4/3 - for example 16/9 - set this parameter to 16
            /aspectHeight=[number] - If your input camera/feed is not 4/3 - for example 16/9 - set this parametre to 9
            If your channel is configured to be 4/3 aspect ratio, it would letter box your 16/9 feed and display it correctly. If you did you not set the aspect ratio properties and your feed was 16/9 - Livestream would assume it was a 4/3 feed and display it as 4/3 - which would be incorect for a 16/9 feed.
      /bufferTime=[x sec]
Allows you to set the buffer time of the live streaming in the player. By default this is very low (0.5 seconds) Increase if you use a unreliable connection during a live Flash Media Encoder broadcast.

You mean selecting a different input resolution in FMLE? What resolution are you trying?

One of the reasons you have to set default live streaming resolution to 640x480 in camtasia is cause it normally autodetects the goal-resolution but that's kind of unstable. So when you change the input res in FMLE, Camtasia needs to deviate from default live streaming resolution and often just crashes.

You probably forgot to tick 'Install Live Streaming support' when installing Camtasia.

Does your FMLE reconnect every few/more than few seconds?
Thats what happens to me. I googled a bit and found out that apparently my specs are too low.
athlon x2 2.6ghz
asus m2a-vm
3gb ddr2
geforce 8800gt 512
Its pretty old already so it may be the reason.
When I tried streaming lower quality (350kbps) everything went fine so I guess its time to get new stuff...

edit: on the other hand, the CPU usage never goes above 30%, confusing...

whats the matter?


Like mentioned on this very page, Mogulus decided to cap the upstream limit to 500kbps recently. Judging by the log, thats probably what's happening to you, you're broadcasting at a bitrate above > 500kbps total, and they shut your connection down.

hey guys, I just tried to verify my channel but was denied in a matter of minutes. This was in the email they sent me:
Unclear permissions:
We cannot verify that you have the permissions / license to broadcast the content currently available on your channel. If you do have a license, please email verification@livestream.com with further evidence.

Any tips to get around it? We're all pretty much just streaming Starcraft, and I am doing the same...

If you could say what you put in your application, that'd be great, too. Also I was kinda too lazy to make my own promo image so I just googled "starcraft" and found the terran victory screen and used that. That may have got me lol. Also the looped videos I have when I'm off-air are random sc videos taken from youtube (so maybe OGN and MBC copyrights apply)

They look at your VOD's and your auto pilot. What I did in order to get verified was I just uploaded a video of me talking. And they also take into account your amount of viewer minutes. GL

To fix that I had to send tell them 2-3 things:

1- I'm streaming my own starcraft games
2- Blizzard entertainment, the owners of the game starcraft do not care that I stream my games if I don't make profit off of it.
3- I'm not making any profit off streaming.

hope this helps you guys... just say it in a nicer way

I'd like to set it up so my SC/Vent audio are played through my stream but NOT my mic 100% of the time. People ask me for audio all the time, but I leave it off because there's too much background noise in my house most of the time. Has anyone tried/done this?

Louder: Enabling Stereo Mix and streaming off of that will stream your SC/Vent sounds, but anything that you say will be left out :/ If you want your voice to be heard on vent, you'll either have to enable a function that plays back your voice into your speakers/headphones. It might sound weird hearing yourself talk though.

rushz0rz: First check to see if it's internet lag or if it's computer lag. If it's computer lag, make sure that you're not running SC and FMLE on one core. Also, what GHz are your cores?

e8400, not sure exactly what the GHz are.

Also, how the fuck do I get the mic to work? It's driving me nuts... on every program I have the audio set up, but nothing comes out on my stream.

So I am trying to fix it so I can use the Mic with ingame sounds also in the stream, but I don`t have anything called stereo mix (not hidden either) and I could not get it to work using Grobycs guide.

I use Vista, anyone got any idea how I can solve this problem?

I'm using the livestream procaster and it's working fine for streaming my desktop and browsing etc but when I tab into fullscreen Starcraft it "creates a black box in the top left and the rest of my desktop remains visible but looks like it's melting".
In window mode the stream works fine but I get insane comp lag so I need to use fullscreen. I don't get comp lag in fullscreen but the stream doesn't show the game then. Anyone had this problem and solved it?

That problem solved by starting the stream by hotkey in game. New problem is green lines at the edge of my screen showing the area of the stream and a little window in the bottom left showing what is on the stream.

The majority of help in the thread is for people using camtasia rather than procaster. I've given up on procaster now and am installing camtasia so I can use the help in the thread.

Make of your sound card?

And Virtual Audio Cables should work.

Neo: Check to make sure that your Stereo Mix is enabled.

Right click on the volume thing -> Recording devices.

I'm having an issue getting my stream to actually stream. I have everything set up correctly followed all the instructions in order etc. But when i'm trying to start my stream, but nothing is showing up on livestream. I looked around and noticed when i hit start on the ecoder and takes you to encoding log, it goes through trying to connect to primay server, it keeps disconnecting.

You'll have to provide more info of that. Screenshots and a more thorough explanation.

What's working? Do you see your camtasia input in FMLE? Do you see your feed in LiveStream studio? Is it just black or no feed at all?

Kk, so like i said, followed your instructions. Camtasia works, everything is set properly as said instructions and it works, it'll record whats in the set parameter. Adobe flash encoder is set up aswell followed by the screenshot. When i record with camtasia it shows what's recording in the adobe flash player. However when i try to start the stream, it won't relay it too the livestream, but the stream says it's live, but no picture. As for what i mean by trying to connect to the primary server, here's SS

If you need a SS of anything else i'll edit into here

fantacy, i was getting that all the time for ages; not sure exactly what i did that fixed it (i did a lot of stuff at once)
i screwed around with router ip&firewall settings, restarted, changed bitrate, turned audio off/on/changed it's quality, closed iccup launcher, logged onto livestream studio, changed the link from mogulus.com to livestream.com and it was working; and then changed it back again and it was still working...
i guess if anything actually worked it was the firewall settings or maybe logging onto livestream studio before doing it for the first time.
i had the bitrate set to the 500kbs max(audio and video) when it wasnt working and i changed it to 350 but i think it works on 500 now too-_-

If you really want to do the in-game sound directly, you need to install the virtual audio cable, which can be found Wonkman's Guide under No SteroMix. But be forewarned, it will have .25 - .5 seconds delay in game.

@neobowman and APurpleCow, have you read my guide yet? What OS are you using?

Are you using 32 or 64-bit Vista Oystein? If you are using 64-bit, I think it is different to enable stereo mix(I'm using 32 so that's what my guide is based off of.).

There is also 2 or 3 pages of posts in my guide with problems, advice, and suggestions as well.

You can also enable stereo mix with a SigmaTel sound card. Try this link: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=2068&DwnldID=8658

Vista Home Premium 64bit.

I just tried installing VAC, but it gave me the same problem konadora had with the digitally unsigned driver thing.

EDIT: Followed the steps on the second page of your guide and got it to install.

Thanks RaGe, Grobyc, and StarBrift.

EDIT2: Oh crap. VAC doesn't work unless I have the comp booted with testsigning off.

@Mystlord: That link is broken...

For some random reason, I'm starting to get the error: "Encoding and streaming to server is stopped due to a problem in capturing audio/video data. Either the capture device is removed or there is an error in encoding process. Restarting the encoding session."

However, it does not occur when I'm not using audio. I have no idea what I've changed to cause this to happen..

I'm running audiorepeater.exe (twice for my mic and in-game sounds) and I'm using Camtasia along with it (although it has nothing to do with the sound).

Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? It's clearly an audio problem but I have no idea what I can change.. I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit FWIW

While I'm streaming the colors are messed.. Before you tell me something, please note that my procedure is as following:

1, Open camtasia (edit: version 5.02, running Vista) and set Start to F9 and stop to F11
2, Open encoder and start it
3, Press F9
4, Open Starcraft
5, Press F11
6, Press F9
7, Colors still messed up.

Any idea?

you need to do the F11/F9 thing when your game starts. not when sc starts, when you're in an actual game and you split your scvs.

A couple of fixes for people livestreaming.
Vista x64 Camtasia 5.02

Disable any webcam you have attached to the computer by going into the device manager from the control panel or unplugging it. I had a problem where my firefox kept crashing as the software for my webcam automatically started up when I was on livestream.

Even though I disabled the f10 hotkey it would still do some weird function in camtasia, to fix that bug bind control + f10 or something to a function and that'll be fixed.

@Rage: My livestream when Im playing sc or even just looking at my desktop seems really zoomed in, should I adjust my camtasia settings, if so how?

Found a fix to that zooming in problem that I had. On the top left it'll show a zoomed in camera preview of the video. After you start Camtasia and the Encoder, autopilot will automatically turn on your stream when you are on the Studio Page. So when you see the black screen on the live preview don't be alarmed and click the cue button. Remember that there is a large delay between the stream so the live preview will be black for a while, wait about 10 seconds and then there you'll see a good resolution of the video and starcraft when you play it on full screen.



To address problems people have been having with lagging starcraft. Mess around changing affiny and setting priority. I spend the better part of the day today finding the perfect balance. Keep in mind that your browser will also end up taking a ton of memory, I put that on a separate core than the encoding. Oh and make sure starcraft is running before you start broadcasting (like rage said) and check frame rates on encoder.

Most people that have had the zoomed in problem (including me in the beginning) had this because the virtual camtasia webcam driver isn't set at the good resolution. Did you reboot after setting it to 640x480?

Might wanna double check the 'default live streaming resolution' or whatever it was.

Could anyone help me with Stereo Mix, it's either On or 'Currently Unavailable', and even if it is On, it doesn't seem to be transmitting what I am listening to.

I am using camtasia version 5.1 with Vista. No matter what I do, it attempts to record in 320x240. I tried setting the dropdown, I tried inputting it manually, I tried opening it in Live Encoder and setting it that way. No matter what, the capture size from camtasia comes out at 320x240 and it crashes as soon as it starts encoding (presumably because it doesn't match up with what the encoder is looking for). Has anyone had this problem? How can I fix this?

EDIT: just to check, I changed the input on the encoder to 320x240. When I did this, camtasia didn't crash, but the encoder did! Each program works by itself but they don't work together.

Will someone please tell me exactly how to fix the zooming error. I have tried rebooting after adjusting settings, I have deleted everything, rebooted, then resintalled everything.

Nothing seems to work. I honestly need a detailed instruction set on how to get rid of the zooming issue.

Thanks!

Like suggested in the guide, try just recording a video (no livestreaming) with Camtasia at 640x480 resolution. It helps narrow down the possible problems you might be having depending on whether that works or not.

uhhh i used to have that zooming to 320x240 problem but it doesn't come up anymore after i started to record in camtasia first (at any size it doesn't matter) and then open FMLE to adjust the input size by clicking on the input size resolution. FMLE can control camtasia's settings so you don't really have to adjust the resolution in camtasia at all.

Yeah technically it can, but if you dont set those default settings it often crashes for me when FMLE is forcing the output size for camtasia.

I just don't understand what I am missing. I tried starting Cam before FMLE, I have the default settings the way they should be according to the instructions.

When I record with no livestreaming, it records beautifully, i can send a nice clean 640/480 video to anyone who wants it.

I'm just not smart enough to do this I guess =(

Uh I realised my computer has this problem. I'm using Stereo Mix, and when I play SC, I can get the BGM sound but not the unit sounds. I've watched the recording and it's just so weird lol.

Any idea how to fix this?

Well you might say you have set it to 200Kbps but it obviously says 650Kbps in the screenshot.

Anyone here use X-Fi sound card and is able to use the "What U hear" to record sounds coming from your sound card? I have the option selected in the Encoder but no sounds come out while recording =(

Edit: In the settings in the encoder when "What U hear" is selected the audio input mixer properties are all grayed out and I am unable to enable it but the pin line input mix is enabled. I have no clue if that means anything =(

Sorry to bump this. I'm kind of in the same situation as him. I get this zoomed in error when trying to livestream. It like shows my command center and scvs but nothing else (no minimap, food/resource count, etc.. too zoomed in to see that).

When I try to plain record a camtasia video it works perfectly. The resolution settings are set just like they should be in camtasia (640x480) and in FLME as well.

You're streaming bitrate is above the 500kbps maximum, but that shouldn't be causing this problem.

Do you see the resolution screen for camtasia when clicking on the little wrench next to the Camtasia blablabla driver?

This thing is sweet. thanks rage.

640x480 is SC's resolution. war3 probably uses somethin different

I noticed that when I turned on FMLE, then went to the broadcast live, it showed a camera device that I could use to stream my video, which was because of the running FMLE, even when I didn't hit the start button. When I ran that broadcast, that's when it was streaming 320x240 no matter what I tried. I'm not sure if that's what the other people are doing, but you need to actually USE the FMLE as your streamer. once you have the correct FMS URL entered, hit connect, and it should connect to the server. when you are ready to stream hit start, then start recording the screen. FMLE should automatically start your broadcast (if you set autolive=true), so you won't need to go to the broadcast live portion to start it. you should be able to go directly to your stream and see if it's working or not.

i tried streaming for also other games (like war3) and I notced, camtasia's green & black borders constantly keep flashing while ingame. I haven't tried yet with sc, but it seems like a resolution problem. I tried setting fmle & camtasia to my monitor's resolution, but it just always wold crash :/


640x480 is SC's resolution. war3 probably uses somethin different


yeah, I registry edited mine to make it different

Ok... this might be a newb/stupid question but i found out that my "What U Hear" only records in Multi-Channel audio which is not supported by Adobe Flash Live Encoder 3, so my question is , is there any way to convert the sounds from Multi-Channel to mono or stereo while recording live?

Camtasia's resolutions are really unstable, I either gotta find a way to make it to work @ 1680 x 1050 or find a different program :/

Any idea how to fix this?

kona, like I already said, it's really weird. I can only imagine the problem being DirectX / DirectSound related.

You're streaming bitrate is above the 500kbps maximum, but that shouldn't be causing this problem.

Do you see the resolution screen for camtasia when clicking on the little wrench next to the Camtasia blablabla driver?


Sorry so uhh, clicking on that little wrench doesn't do anything for me. Not really sure what the problem is. When I try to livestream, it shows the video in FMLE, kind of like a video preview. That is totally fine as well, it is just the livestream shows zoomed at like a small resolution.

I'm not sure if others have had this problem yet, but I just spend about 2 hours trying to enable my stereo mix. In the end I used a program called Virtual Audio Cable and it worked great

To be honest I don't have a clue exactly. Actually you'll laugh at me but whatever.

I decided to completely uninstall everything and just start over. It could have been a couple different things that were fixed during the reinstall process.

1. I skipped rebooting after installing camtasia the first time (I know ).
2. In my FMLE the XXX part I replace with my channel name, it might be case sensitive. I put "TetrisSC" when it should have been "tetrissc" I guess.
3. Before the reinstall my livestream didn't have the External Source option that you were describing. It does now. This could be caused by case-sensitive channel names though too.

So yeah, I'm guessing it is because I didn't have the right capitalization for my channel name in the address in FMLE.

I tryed with Camtasia 5.02 with windows XP and I didnt get the same screen as Rage.. I think I did all you wrote I do not get it.. Seems so weird.
It's wrote "live input mode" with audio etc disabled and a small button "option" with "recording" in red.
Its really not the same as you and I got 5.02 version.
Help is welcome T.T

Following his instructions worked fine for me with 5.02. Some of the interface isn't the same so it doesn't look identical to his screenshots, but the step-by-step text was still accurate.

Can you please explain how to make sure or even infact cue your "extrenal feed".

My livestream studio has Video Source : Camstasi Studio Video Capture Driver as the only option in the pull down menu

I'm 100% sure it's because we didn't have the External Source option in Livestream studio, the problem is I still don't .. I've tried reinstalling more times then I would care to mention.

I've also taken the liberty of clearing out my registry after a few installs to make sure some settings didn't linger while hidden.

I still can't get this to work =(

Ok! 1 step closer. I've found the exact problem. Now we just need to figure out the solution.

In Livestream studio, Broad cast Live Tab > Sources > Cameras Tab > I only have JPCarron's camera - Video Source: Camstasia Studio Video Capture Driver.

I am missing the "livestream" box with the External Feed Pull down as an option completely

Any help would = WIN

What is the FMLE log telling you? Can you connect to the Flash Media Server?

Are you exceeding your max bitrate?

is your FMS URL typed in correctly (case sensitive, correct channel name, correct username, they're usually different)?

I set up the camtasia recorder and the adobe flash media live recorder, when i try to go live it doesn't work.
Adobe flash media live encoder goes in a loop

disconnected.
Re-establishing connection, attempt 1
reconnected to FMS/3,0,1,123
Stream[sMi.Rei] status: success
Stream[sMi.Rei] Status: netStream.publish,start
network status: netconnection.connect.closed status
disconnected

No idea what my user name and channel name is, I thought my user name is smirei shouldn't my channel name also be smirei ????? how do i find out? when i go to my channel it says

sMi.Rei
smirei

it has both!!! WTf?

UPDATE
I changed the channel name to smirei so both channel and user name should be smirei

still not working same shit looping that disconnected and reconnecting bullshit

UPDATE
need to update something, on the Broadcast live tab on livestream, where it says smirei's camera, it actually see my streaming, but it's not playing on my livestream ( if the webstie sees my camera why does it not go live??) , it says cued clip: livestream [By Autopilot] when i pause that autopilot it just resumes in 25 seconds. man this is pissing me off

man if livestream cameras sees my destop, then why won't it go live???????????????

UPDATE
set bitrate to 350 let's see if this shit works

UpDaTe:
It wokrs!!! but volume is too low.

Yo...

i fixed the zoom in problem. The problem was that whenever i stream i get a zoomed in result.

If you have that problem, you can change the FMLE version (download another one). You should download FMLE 2.5.

question, when someone streams their games does it use the bandwidth from the livestream site or that persons internet connection?

when i was streaming for the first time i remember streaming for like 3 days and then when i went back on my account(on the livestream site) it said under the GB usage that i used 40 gb's, i got scared so i closed my account because i only have 60 gbs dl space per month.. the thing is i really dont know if the gb usage on livestream goes into your dl space for your internet connection

Are you stupid? Of course it doesn't use your own connection for relaying. That's the whole purpose of using Livestream - that your own upload isn't good enough to stream to other people.

I keep getting massive email spam form livestream saying my bite rate is too high, basically over 500. But my stream still able to go live. Will they cancel my account if i continuer w/ the same setting? how do i make sure my bit rate is below 500? The video bite rate on my adobe flash media live encoder3 is at 350, and the audio bite way is at 48 what else do i need to lower? cause the total is only 398kbps

Im having the same problem - When I stream it works fine but I can only see my nexus and probes. When I went to change it to external feed on livestream it wouldn't let me. It only gives me one option and that is camtasia studio video capture. Help would be appreciated, thanks!

Sorry to bump this. I'm kind of in the same situation as him. I get this zoomed in error when trying to livestream. It like shows my command center and scvs but nothing else (no minimap, food/resource count, etc.. too zoomed in to see that).

When I try to plain record a camtasia video it works perfectly. The resolution settings are set just like they should be in camtasia (640x480) and in FLME as well.

+ Show Spoiler [My FMLE picture] +
&#91;image loading&#93;


I have restarted my computer after setting the resolution to 640x480 and I am starting camtasia recording first like someone suggested earlier. Nothing seems to be working.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?


You're streaming bitrate is above the 500kbps maximum, but that shouldn't be causing this problem.

Do you see the resolution screen for camtasia when clicking on the little wrench next to the Camtasia blablabla driver?


Sorry so uhh, clicking on that little wrench doesn't do anything for me. Not really sure what the problem is. When I try to livestream, it shows the video in FMLE, kind of like a video preview. That is totally fine as well, it is just the livestream shows zoomed at like a small resolution.


Do you have AutoLive on?

If not, are you sure you're cueing your FMLE feed and not your Camtasia feed?

For clarification: In your LiveStream studio you should cue your 'External Feed' not the 'Camtasia Studio Capture Device' feed.


Im having the same problem - When I stream it works fine but I can only see my nexus and probes. When I went to change it to external feed on livestream it wouldn't let me. It only gives me one option and that is camtasia studio video capture. Help would be appreciated, thanks!


.. did you turn AutoLive on or not?

and post your encoding log

Finally got it working in windows 7 while playing fullscreen

Using Camtasia 5.0.2. Screen was showing really dark but a single stop then start recording of the camtasia recorder by pressing F9 and then F11 fixed it. Can't believe how many hours i tried getting this working and I must have had it working a good few times not knowing it :p

Now just to find the nicest settings I can play at.

you sure you don't have any 'save recording' option on in camtasia/fmle or something? Does it also happen if you stop the camtasia capture isntead of pausing it?

It's not a max bitrate problem. Livestream always closes the connection immediately if your bitrate exceeds 500. And what do you mean by cuing external feed? The only thing that matters in streaming is your FMLE settings. As for RaNgeD's problem, everything seems to check out from his log...

The zooming problem isn't exactly new to me, but I haven't found a clear reason as to why it happens. It's 100% sure on the FMLE side though. Make sure you followed Rage's guide exactly.

The zooming in problem usually happens when you didn't restart Camtasia when it says in the guide that you should.
It's the Camtasia Virtual Webcam Driver that has the wrong settings, a resolution problem.

It also happens if you cue the camtasia feed in your livestream studio instead of the external feed.

Dunno if that's gonna help him (sure worth testing tho), I got the same issue now. I was streaming without problems as soon as yesterday, but now nothing works. Tried changing some settings, lower my bandwith and stuff like that, but it doesn't help. I got this issue with AFLME 3.

Just out of curiosity, what version of Camtasia are you guys running? I'm running 5.0.2 on Vista 64 bit just fine.

If some people were having troubles getting FMLE to stop freezing when trying to change the settings, you need to delete the profile named "starting"

To do this go to file, open profile. delete "starting"

Coca Cola: The freezing generally can't be avoided. Like if you try to change your device input, the program is guaranteed to hang. Unless you're talking about something completely different.

I only got it to unhang that way, but I was talking about the same thing. It freezes like everytime I try to change something in it...

For future reference how did you get it to unfreeze?

EDIT::

Earlier I had this working perfect ( I was able to stream a game and a replay to a friend who was helping me set it up) The sound and video quality were both great. Now my stream is very slow, slow motion like. The sounds, the video...everything. I have given my computer some time to relax and recover, but it still isn't working. I've read through the thread but I didn't quite see anything related.

My channel is www.livestream.com/diamondback

timestop: I don't know what you mean. Starcraft runs in 640x480 resolution, so when you maximize Starcraft, the entire screen will be recorded. Your desktop is running at a much higher resolution. Don't worry.

Well that's not exactly the case. If you have the zooming in problem, then the screen would be focused on the middle of the top left corner. He's just saying that it only streams the top left corner, so I would assume that he thinks that you need to stream the entirety of your screen to stream SC, which isn't the case.

Ensure that you have everything that might eat up your internet (torrents and the like) off, and that you aren't running anything other than SC, FMLE, and Camtasia.

Set your settings to 250 bitrate and set your output size to 320x240
If the problem persists, then it's definitely an internet problem.

Check your speed at speedtest.net with absolutely nothing running and report the results here.

It's definitely not my internet. My settings are set to 250.

I had this working earlier and now it's completely messed up. Help please -_____-;;
I've also tried reintaslling both camtasia and adobe flash media live encoder, but it's still the same problem.

And VP6/10 FPS in FMLE? Then I don't know what could be causing it. Some people just seem to have unfixable lag issues. Running Camtasia 5 or 4? Vista/XP/Win7?

That's really slow. if your total bitrate (audio+video) is 200kbps, which is already low, you'll only have 147 kbps (which is like 18kB/s) left for your other upload use (SC/websites you're browsing). That's not enough.

a lot of people have had this problem. Most of them had this because they didnt restart after setting the Camtasia driver settings.

Some of them just encued the wrong stream. Are you sure you're encueing the right stream in LiveStream Studio? Do you have isAutoLive=True ?

You're probably encueing the Camtasia feed instead of the External Feed (FMLE).

Ok using Realtek HD Audio I can hear some sound on my stream but it's really quiet, similar to Lzgamer but I have a feeling I'm simply doing something wrong in the settings, everything is working except that it's really quiet, thanks for the guide Rage and hopefully I can figure this out. If I do I'll be sure to tell how

mkay SO

i have camtasia 6, but i dont want to stream SC (i'm terrible) or OGN/MBC via the internet (lags)

BUT i'm getting OGN on my television in a couple days so i wanted to see if maybe there was a way to get the video from my tv, to my computer and stream that. theoretically it should be HD with no lag whatsoever

should i just follow the guide from wonkman?

also i think i need like special cables for that shit. and theyre expensive i believe sadface

I have a strange problem that a couple of my friends also share. I use camtasia 2 and adobe encoder 3. Recording and streaming works without any problems until I launch starcraft, then it starts lagging like crazy ingame. Does anyone know whats the reason behind this?

Okay I'm trying to set up streaming and I'm having some issues. I am using Camtasia 5.02 (Vista user) and whenever I try to record on brood war Camtasia Recorder just closes, gives up completely. I thought I had downloaded a version with a patch, but unfortunately I can't access the patch anymore, so I need to look for another free ver somewhere I suppose.

EDIT: Camtasia is also not crashing anymore after I fixed the below message, dunno how that happened...

When I connect on FLME I'm getting this message:

Wed Oct 07 2009 14:03:36 : Primary - Re-establishing connection, attempt 1
Wed Oct 07 2009 14:03:37 : Primary - Reconnected to FMS/3,0,1,123

Wed Oct 07 2009 14:03:41 : Primary - Network Status: NetConnection.Connect.Closed status
Wed Oct 07 2009 14:03:46 : Primary - Disconnected



Is there something I am missing?

EDIT: I'm assuming this has to do with the 500 kbps bitrate? I now have this:

Wed Oct 07 2009 14:41:34 : Session Started
Wed Oct 07 2009 14:41:34 : Video Encoding Started
Wed Oct 07 2009 14:41:35 : Audio Encoding Started


BUt nothing shows up, even when I test on the desktop.


3rd Edit: if anyone has a good copy of camtasia 5.02 I would _REALLY_ appreciate it. I'm going to hunt down another copy now and see if I have any luck.

I wonder how to get your stream on teamliquid (ive searched) and I can't find if you have to have the stream verificated or not. I was denied verification from the livestream staff and wonder if my stream still can be posted on teamliquid?

Thx

Read some of the proposed lagfixes. Some fixes actually do miracles for some people.

Also, Camtasia 2 seems awfully outdated. Might wanna get Camtasia 4.

Camtasia is paid software.

TL does not support pirating, so I'm afraid you'll have to find a way yourself.

You must have messed up your VAC settings. Unfortunately, Grobyc is the expert on that.

I can give you a little hint though: its not your cpu coolers thermal paste

im using camtasia 5 now and have had a friend check all my settings and they are same as his. as i said earlier i have streamed playing other games than starcraft for example HoN and there is no lag or other issue.

Hi sry to make another post I got the video working, but I can't seem to change the sound. I am using vista so I'm not familiar with how to access the sound card. I thought it would be "Realtek Digital Input" but this doesn't seem to work when I test.

Also I think I might be getting the same lag issue that Haypro is getting, but I'm not an expert with computers so I don't want to fuck something up

Nevermind on the 2nd thing I think Digsby was causing lag issues.

check if you have that in game function on that stops Starcraft from using 100% CPU. Throttle something?

Enable CPU Throttling in your Starcraft in game Options -> Speed menu. This should help a lot.

You can also try messing around with the CPU Core affinities for Camtasia/FMLE/SC if you have a dual or quadcore processor.

Realtek Digital Input is a Digital Input port on your soundcard, to which you can connect external devices like for example a synthesizer or something.

You want Realtek HD Audio Input. It'll probably be set so that it takes microphone input at first, but you can change that in your recording sound device options in Vista.

I'm so embarrassed. If I just checked "show disabled devices" I would have seen the right one. I kept configuring the port lol... I should be good to go I got rejected for a stream I will persist them and send a msg to sonuvbob.

Thanks Rage

Hi everyone, I've recently started trying to set up my livestream, everything works except the resolution of recorded area reduces 4 times (it is set on 640*480, but viewers only see 320*240 area). I don't know what could be wrong, I tried many things. The FMLE input gets the right size area, I got isAutoLive=true set, I've got pretty much everything set. Tried to get some help from irc, but everything people adviced didn't solved my problem. Ok, so heres the photos of my settings:

alright, i (the guy with the same problem) found out that flash encoder sends nothing at all to livestream. the only thing showing up in the livestream studio is the camtasia cam, which i thought is the live encoder. :-|

camtasia and live encoder should work fine together, as the preview screen in the encoder is just fine.
so i guess the connection between flash encoder and livestream must fail. i checked the fms url like 10 times, but it is right ...

also flash encoder says connecting works:
Tue Oct 13 2009 20:00:18 : Primary - Connected to FMS/3,0,1,123
Tue Oct 13 2009 20:00:19 : Primary - Stream[livestream] Status: Success
Tue Oct 13 2009 20:00:19 : Primary - Stream[livestream] Status: NetStream.Publish.Start
Tue Oct 13 2009 20:00:19 : Session Started

but after starting via green button there is still nothing on my stream even though i have isAutoLive=true . upload can not be the problem. also at the studio there is still only the camtasia cam which somehow sticks to 320x240. there is no flash encoder cam or whatever.

when i look at the encoding statistics, there is neither any down- nor upload. bitrate 0 kbps. my encoding options are 100% as in the tutorial. i did only uncheck audio, as live encoder does not like my soundcard. however, this should not be the problem.

any idea?

Every single thing in the FMS url is case-sensitive. Are you sure you didnt write your channelname or livestream username with a wrong case? Or that you didn't switch them around?

The resolution problem isn't your problem, it's just because you tried to encue to wrong feed. It's the connection to livestream that should have some mistake. So he says the stream connects, but your bitrate remains zero?

Is that all your log is picturing?

You need a good computer to be able to stream, what can I say? Try lowering the bitrate and messing around with the compression options.

yes, he says connection success as copy/pasted above, but bitrate is stays at 0 everywhere.
this is the whole log, there is nothing coming after that. i did also try to turn off my firewall, but no change.

i did even create a 2nd account, in case i messed up something at my first registration. still does not work.

someone who got this to work please try my fms url and give me feedback if it works for him to help me finding the problem:

You probably downloaded the wrong version. LiveStream has the Flash Media Servers, you don't need it.

bump and question

I've double checked all my aspect ratio settings and such as listed in the OP

but when i play starcraft, all it streams is a zoomed in center of my screen. i dont even know what that could be. everything i have is at 640x480 the way it should, except my upload rate, which is 320x240 since my comp is slower. also my custom scrn starts at 0,0

Hey everyone,

For the past week or so I've been having problems VIEWING livestreams. Basically what happens is I open the page (or the embedded version on TL.net) and it freezes the browser after a few seconds (never actually displays any video).

Ive tried using a different browser, updating flash player, updating browser, rolling back windows with system restore. All of the above have not fixed the problem.

Has anyone experienced this problem before?

I have my FMLE set up perfectly, my Camtasia setup perfectly and my livestream setup perfectly. Everything is recording fine there's just a problem between the connection of my livestream and the FMLE.

When I start streaming and recording, my livestream is "Offline", will go black for a second, then go back to "Offline", rinse and repeat.


The encoding log shows that it keeps connecting then disconnecting every 10 seconds. My FMS URL is perfect (I know it's case sensitive)...This is frustrating. Are their certain ports or something I need open? Firewall is off as well....

The stream Kryxia is being published to your channel tlrage, with invalid credentials for the username Kryxia. The IP address of the publishing client is 72.82.238.14.

whoever you are, stop using my channel name

fishnchips, you can get really high quality despite the low bitrate if you set FMLE output resolution pretty high. make sure the first number is 4:3ths the second number in your resolution, so the scaling works out fine. you can also mess around with the compression options if you have more CPU usage available.

The info on how to get your stream published on TL is in a link in the main post

a lot of people have had this problem. Most of them had this because they didnt restart after setting the Camtasia driver settings.

Some of them just encued the wrong stream. Are you sure you're encueing the right stream in LiveStream Studio? Do you have isAutoLive=True ?

Remember, the FMS url is case-sensitive for Channel name, User name, password, and variables.


did anyone find a solution to not restarting your pc after installing camtasia and then installing FMLE right afterwards? my friend forgot to reboot his comp after installing camtasia so now when he streams the screen is zoomed in, we tried uninstalling everything and then reinstalling it again but the FMLE files dont get erased after we unsitall it, everytime we reinstall FMLE the old settings are always there

The zooming in is a Camtasia problem, not FMLE. You need to uninstall Camtasia and uninstall the video capture driver for it too, then reinstall and it should work fine.

There's probably another way to do it, but this has proven to be the most reliable method.

I am having this same problem.
Like the camtasia is showing the rectangle box in the right place, and FMLE shows the output as it should be.
However, livestream is only capturing 1/4 of that screen and it is as if it was zoomed in the center.

I will try uninstalling camtasia and reinstalling it as suggested to see if that solves it.

EDIT: How do i find the video capture driver for camtasia so I can uninstall it?
I couldnt find Techsmith Codec anywhere in the list of installed programs if that is the driver.
Sorry, Im really bad with computers.

I cant record without disableing hardware acceleration, otherwise it lags like hell...we're talking .5 FPS while recording in starcraft.
But if I disable it, Adobe flash media encoder won't work, since it requires hardware acceleration, so either way im fucked.

Anyone got an idea how to fix it so I can either record with hardware acceleration or stream without hardware acceleration?

Would really like some help here :--)

Ugh I've been at this for like 3 days now. I've enabled "Stereo Mix" but it doesn't seem to do anything. I have the Realtek HD Audio Manager and I'm running Windows XP. If anyone can help out with my in game sound recording that'd be awesome.

Hmm...everything is working really well. The only problem is that when I try to record audio, I get a huge amount of static, and the sound that's supposed to be heard turns out to be a huge screech or huge staticy sound.

My device is listed as Realtek AC97. The only problem is that it doesn't record anything, and when I turn it onto a different setting in FLME, it gives me that horrendous noise. If I try recording with my mic, it has so much feedback that it kills the ears.

Anyone have any suggestions? Is it something that I'm missing out on? Or is it because my hardware sucks really bad?

System specs? Also try closing down every single program other than camtasia, FMLE, and SC. That includes whatever the hell else might be lurking in your process list.

??? Try raising your volume up to max. It should work.

Feedback? Plug in some headphones. You just can't let any noise from the speakers hit the microphone.
As for your other problem, are you using stereo mix?

Yeah, I'm using stereo mix. But it just makes such a huge static noise. You choose the device in FMLE and in settings, you put in stereo mix right? If so, yeah, I'm getting that crazy sound.

EDIT: Fixed. I was monitoring audio on my computer, so basically, I created a never ending feedback loop, which wasn't good.

Thanks for everyone's help! :D

With most sound cards, if you don't mute either Stereo Mix or Microphone, you're gonna get that static.

That's what I have anyway, and I also have a Realtek card.

So go to your recording options and mute everything except the General Recording Volume and the input you want (Stereo Mix/Microphone/Line in)

Thanks! Although I'm sort of not getting the entire concept. I tried muting everything, but it still didn't work out the way that I wanted it to. It gave me static, and it also kept playing the stuff I was hearing on the player even after I turned off the stream. I'm not really sure what the problem is.

So this is what happens to me. When I get to the livestream studio page, it asks me whether to allow or deny access to my computer

When I press allow, this happens

There you go. Use Firefox. Chrome works too.

Ok... Are you the administrator? Try pressing "Deny" to see if it also crashes.

Deny causes it not to stream Thanks for trying, i found the solution! Have to go to adobe website and theres an online settings thingy you can use there to always allow from certain websites automatically \o/

I had that, I noticed that sometimes right click on the desktop > Properties > settings and changing the colors to 16 bit fixes the problem... the only thing is that you have to start camtasia AFTER you are in the game... so if you have camtasia open you can try to hit the hotkeys to stop and start very quickly and it should be fine.

My problem is that I have it all setup by the book, I can see my stream and all but even though I setup camtasia and FMLE to 620x480 or even 800x600, in livestream I can only see a very small part of the video... I have tried zooming out and nothing it is always like if it was in 320x480 the whole time... If I use procaster the stream of my desktop is perfect but of course i cant stream starcraft... any ideas?

EDIT:
------------

By reading the thread I saw that this is a common problem with camtasia it cuts some inches for some reason and just records the middle of the screen... bleh what a problem...

I am trying WebcamMax right now and it seems to work better but I always get black screen with it when inside SC... in Camtasia I could stop start the recording and it would fix the screen right away... btw if you click on start recording when you ARE already recording it will give you the error of a "filename not found" is nothing big is just that you are not stopping it before starting it again.

I am able to stream from camtasia directly to livestream without FMLE if you allow adobe to access your hardware, I havent been able to stream from FMLE to livestream properly all I get is a black screen in livestream the whole time maybe they disable it?

Any Ideas on what can i do?>

camtasia is not recording enough area to stream SC
and WebcamMax is not able to record SC with colors...

Only Camtasia can capture full screen SC, you can uninstall WebcamMax cause it's not gonna work.

The resolution problem, like you mentioned, is very common, and has a lot of possible fixes. Gotta search the thread for them.

Thank you rage for making the tutorial!
Everything is working great and I managed to get it running with a great quality!

my specs:

XP
Core2Duo 2.50 Ghz
4Gb Ram
Sound Blaster Audigy with the "What you hear" option on to pick up mic + starcraft sound... note that you have to unmute the mic on the playback panel so you can actually pick up the sound of the mic in your stream.

I am using x264 codec you can download it Here

Now the interesting part...

In FMLE I put some settings that my conection allowed, 350kbps as bandwidth can give great quality so you dont have to use the 500k if you dont want, specially if you cant.

Note that you CANT change the name of the stream, if you change where it says "livestream" on the right side YOU WILL NOT GET IMAGE... at least I couldnt until i changed it to livestream again.

I was using the x264 codec and it worked flawlessly I put the settings there as shown in the images...


As you can see in the next images down there, if you see the little square with green color that is my CPU usage, you can see that is 100% right? yeah encoding takes a lot so... after you know that your channel is live close firefox, trust me it helps a lot.

Also play with affinity and priority settings. I have FMLE in a separate core than starcraft and I have high priority in starcraft so it doesnt lag, I also have CPU Throttling on in starcraft and I disabled cycling colors or something like that on the video menu also in starcraft.

When you start streaming the first cam will be zoomed in... that is normal and that is not the one that you will use. You will cue (If you dont have it done automatically) the other one that says "livestream"

Note that you will not get image for a few seconds probably even 30 seconds... that is normal and still the other people can see your desktop even if you cant see it yourself there in livestream I confirmed that out.

did we find any solution to this problem? I have the same thing...


We are still looking for a solution! I think someone should make a youtube vid showing EXACTLY how to do it with XP, and one with Vista. Then a star goes to that person

So I just used rages guide tonight and streamed myself figuring things out. Thanks to rage for the guide it was awesome! I used vista and camtasia 5. It is quite rough as I was learning as I went and will probably redo another tomorrow which sill be better with audio commentary and other things. My livestream is livestream.com/xtonx. Not sure what else too say but hope it might help someone?

edit: I want to make it very clear that in the stream of me settings things up that i inserted the wrong rtmp originally!!!! it should stay as mogulus and not livestream. I'm retarded and attempted changing it. Thanks!

edit2: I just finished rerecording a mini tutorial on my stream at livestream.com/xtonx of how to install these things using vista and rage's guide. Hope it helps someone and if I epic failed anywhere please let me know ^^.

does anybody has the problem that the audio goes way ahead and the video lags only when streaming live?

when I check the recorded file everything is perfect but the viewers say the sound goes behind or way ahead...

can anyone post their settings here?

i really want to find out why my stream doesn't have unit sounds :<

for sounds, i have Speakers and Realtek Digital Output for my 'Playback' tab, and Microphone, Line In (disabled), Realtek Digital Input, CD Audio and Stereo Mix for my 'Recording' tab. Currently, Stereo Mix is my default device.

Under Audio for my camtasia recorder, the device is Stereo Mix (Realtek High Definition) and so is the device choice for my FMLE. When I go 'settings' for audio in FMLE, pin line input mix is enabled and under Pin Line, it's 'Master Volume'.

You know that stereo is 2 channels right? probably FMLE is just picking up 1 of the channels and leaving the other one out, maybe thats why you pick 1 kind of sound (clicking, starcraft music) but dont get the other one (unit sounds)... I am not an expert on this but that is probably because those sounds are in different channels... Try setting everything to MONO instead of stereo, I know that in FMLE you can select mono instead of stereo but I am not sure if your realtek card allows that.

That might not fix it, but is a start where you can check.

SoundCard: SoundBlaster Audigy
Settings Recording tab: "What you Hear"
Settings Playback: Microphone unmuted

I can hear starcraft sounds + my microphone.

My FMLE settings:

+ Show Spoiler +
[Camtasia] Codec: x264 Lossless format
[Camtasia] Codec special Setting: Interlaced checked
[Camtasia] Resolution: 640x480
[FMLE] Codec: H.264
[FMLE] Codec Settings: Main - 3.1 - 5 seconds keyframe
[FMLE] Frames Per Second: 15
[FMLE] Output Resolution: 560x420
[FMLE] Output Bitrate: 200Kbps
[FMLE] Output Special Setting: Deinterlace checked
[FMLE] Audio Codec: Mp3
[FMLE] Audio Channels: Mono
[FMLE] Audio Hz: 44100
[FMLE] Audio Bitrate: 56Kbps

*256Kbps*

Name of the test record:
---[x264L 640x480]/H.264-[M]3.1[5]/15fps/560x420@200Kbps[interlace +deinterlace]/Mp3[M]22050Hz@56Kbps *256Kbps*---


My only problem is when going live, I am not sure because I havent tested enough but some people have told me that my audio goes behind or way ahead... I guess it has to do with the bitrate or something similar... when I see the recorded session my audio is perfect except for a constant glitch... the audio stops for a few milliseconds (almost unnoticeable but still annoying) every x seconds, sometimes it records perfectly some others it has the glitch, havent figure it out yet...

My PC is a Core2Duo 2.5Ghz with 4GB ram and encoding takes 90% of the CPU
I have a 15Mbps/1Mbps connection so I should be able to stream ok, can anybody recommend me settings?

how about you kona, you stream perfectly how are your settings?

I think you got me all wrong, or maybe i just explained badly. I'm saying that my hotkeys aren't working while im in starcraft (f 9 start, f11 stop ) so thats why the colors are messed up all the time.

oh I see... did you try changing them to another hotkeys? I use F7 and F8 because they are closer together...

if it still wont work my first suggestion is still valid, try uninstalling the program but try it with one of those uninstallers that actually takes care of all left over files on your PC like REVO or any other of that kind, since it can happen that some files are corrupted or misplaced.

The other thing is that maybe you thought it is in F9 and F11 but you didnt notice that it has the Ctrl box checked or something similar.

If you dont install the x264 codec then you wont have the option in FMLE to encode in H.264 and the only codec you will have is the VP6 which in my case didnt work at all because it was dropping so many frames that it looked like it was taking a picture every 5 seconds...

also the CPU required to encode in VP6 was much more than when I encode in x.264 but that can be just in my pc.

Now the interesting part...

In FMLE I put some settings that my conection allowed, 350kbps as bandwidth can give great quality so you dont have to use the 500k if you dont want, specially if you cant.

Note that you CANT change the name of the stream, if you change where it says "livestream" on the right side YOU WILL NOT GET IMAGE... at least I couldnt until i changed it to livestream again.

I was using the x264 codec and it worked flawlessly I put the settings there as shown in the images...


As you can see in the next images down there, if you see the little square with green color that is my CPU usage, you can see that is 100% right? yeah encoding takes a lot so... after you know that your channel is live close firefox, trust me it helps a lot.

Also play with affinity and priority settings. I have FMLE in a separate core than starcraft and I have high priority in starcraft so it doesnt lag, I also have CPU Throttling on in starcraft and I disabled cycling colors or something like that on the video menu also in starcraft.

When you start streaming the first cam will be zoomed in... that is normal and that is not the one that you will use. You will cue (If you dont have it done automatically) the other one that says "livestream"

Note that you will not get image for a few seconds probably even 30 seconds... that is normal and still the other people can see your desktop even if you cant see it yourself there in livestream I confirmed that out.

In the last image you can see that livestream picked up my image and my channel is streaming live!

Lemme tell you guys a secret. Camtasia does not encode anything when you're in live output mode. Installing the x264 codec won't help at all.


If you dont install the x264 codec then you wont have the option in FMLE to encode in H.264 and the only codec you will have is the VP6 which in my case didnt work at all because it was dropping so many frames that it looked like it was taking a picture every 5 seconds...

also the CPU required to encode in VP6 was much more than when I encode in x.264 but that can be just in my pc.

Even if you don't install x264, you get the h264 option. x264 != h264 h264 is the commercial version. x264 is the open source version. You can not install codecs to flash media live encoder.

I think you got me all wrong, or maybe i just explained badly. I'm saying that my hotkeys aren't working while im in starcraft (f 9 start, f11 stop ) so thats why the colors are messed up all the time.



oh I see... did you try changing them to another hotkeys? I use F7 and F8 because they are closer together...

if it still wont work my first suggestion is still valid, try uninstalling the program but try it with one of those uninstallers that actually takes care of all left over files on your PC like REVO or any other of that kind, since it can happen that some files are corrupted or misplaced.

The other thing is that maybe you thought it is in F9 and F11 but you didnt notice that it has the Ctrl box checked or something similar.



Thanks!
This helped me to solve the problem, i changed the hotkeys ,but still hotkeys didnt work so i tried to put ctrl on the game and then it worked ! thanks

thanx for the wonderful thread !!!
I made all the things and everything is working.

But i have one question. The stream is great in the site but its a little bit laggy in the game and i am not sure that in iccup it will be good if there is lag for me. Which setting i should lower to improve the quality of play int he game ? Thanks in advance !

download THIS program, is called Prio and what it does is that it saves the priority of tasks and affinity...

what does priority and affinity of a program mean?

+ Show Spoiler [Answer. In case you didnt know:] +
Windows have the ability to prioritize certain processes over others, to do that you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and look for the name of the process, right click on it and in priority you put it on high (dont ever put anything in realtime if you dont have a good processor).

The problem is that windows dont save those settings, so every time you open the program you would have to go and set the priority. That program that I told you about saves the settings so you dont have to do it over and over again.

The affinity is in which core you want that that program runs (if you have more than one core of course). To change that, you do the same as before but instead of priority you go to affinity and select the core or cores you want that program running on. I noticed that Prio also saves that even though they dont mention it.... or probably I am doing that i dont know :D


Here is what you have to do.

First keep Starcraft and FMLE in separate cores, I have SC in core 0 and FMLE in core 1.
Put Starcraft as High Priority and set FMLE to above normal priority. I also have camtasia in above normal. And if you have Prio those settings are going to be retained every time you start those programs. Cool right?

with that you should get almost no lag or no lag at all depending on your CPU speed and your RAM.

If you cant save the affinity with prio try imagecfg gui.
I would be careful with that last program because it modifies the exe file, so if you use it make a backup copy of your exe before you modify it.

Thanks for the guide, i had super trouble trying to set it up with Camtasia 5 and finally went and found a copy of 4. No problems after that, except that one of your screens for FMLE shows bitrate for 650 which is beyond what unverified users can use. However after solving these small issues its all working great! Thanks a bunch.

Which is a crying shame, cause viewers are really missing out on some really good quality 2000k streams. It's a pity I can only go up to 500 kbps.

And it's 500 kbps whether you're verified or not. Only premium users can go above.

You should just set starcraft and camtasia recorder to high priority in task manager. You need more than 1 core to run flash media live encoder. At least that's my experience. I use a Core 2 Duo.

Sorry, but this a noob question about computers.

I have a Core 2 Duo as well, but do I have to manually set the Media Live Encoder to run on one core and Starcraft on the other? Or does the computer set that automatically?

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong because I lag like crazy whenever I start running my LS session. Basically, Starcraft is unplayable.

I would not recommend assigning cores if you don't know what you're doing. It's efficient enough to just let your computer assign cores. If you're getting lag in Starcraft, up its priority only, and shut down everything save for FMLE, Camtasia, and SC. This includes all background processes. If it's still lagging... You need a better computer.

You don't want to assign FMLE above on the priority of sc becuase i guarantee you that FMLE is coded properly and will take every bit of your computing power to encode and sc wont run.
What you want to do if put sc on High and FMLE on Above Normal in terms of affinity. But overall quality wont change as you can't really modify the important values in their encoder, 500kbps at 480x360 is actually more then enough quality if we are talking about a proper encoding instead of a live encode.

In my opinion, you should not touch the priorities of FMLE. You should set starcraft.exe to high priority and let FMLE do it's thing. FMLE should use the rest of the cpu power that you have.

Guys what you think are the best bitrate settings for somebody with 1MB upload?


I have been using 248kbps, 200 video and 48 mono audio for 560x420 output size.

the problem is that if i setup more than 48 in audio the audio lags, and if I put more video I am not sure but people with not good connection get lag even though people with DSL higher than 5MB see it perfectly.

Don't worry about viewers. You have to have terrible internet to not be able to view 248 kbps. Stream at the highest you can stream without lagging. I'd recommend Stereo Audio for Audio cause Mono just sucks.

Well non premium users are capped at a 500kbp/s stream so really might as well use the whole 500kbp/s it's odd that not even half you're capability would lag your transmission. If the audio lags i'm sure there is some settings to manually increase your buffer to be larger.

48kbps for audio should be more than enough, especially Mono. If you're having lag issues, I'd recommend lowering the bitrate instead of lifting it

So I bought a new headset with with a mic with an USB connection, not the regular cord you stick in your soundcard. So now in AFML there is no option to get the sounds I hear onto the stream, the only option I have is the Microphone for the headset. So is there any way to get what I hear onto the stream without getting a new headset that I plug directly into the soundcard? (Since I kinda destroyed my old headset in a moment of nerdrage during a big loss streak a few days ago lol)

USB Headsets always have a 'built in sound card', and shows up as a seperate device in windows.

Should be easy to mix mic and output with Virtual Audio Cables in this case.

you have to see what works for you. I use 15fps and it works perfectly.

You can check in the FMLE "encoding log" tab... on the right side it tells you if there is frame drops under the "drops" section.

If you do see drops there then you just have to adjust your fps settings or maybe your bitrate, if you dont have serious drops it can be the codec that you are using. Try changing the codec settings or something similar.

If after all of that he still has troubles with the frames dropping then it can be his fault.

All cases are correct for user name, channel name and password... if it's easier, you can PM me to help fix this... I have no idea what's wrong T_T

EDIT: Got it working! Very strange... the user name is different from the channel name, but if I set the Stream: to the username, and the fme url to use the user name instead of channel name after the mogulus/, it worked... o.O Thank you for your help Rage and RaptorX.

in FMLE, select your audio device and click on the tool on the right side to bring up the options. In the dropdown menu select stereomix.

Now on windows, in your taskbar. On the right side there should be a small speaker.

You have to unmute microphone in the PLAYBACK options. Then you have to select the Recording options. This depends on your card but usually you do that by clicking on options and selecting properties.

In recording options make sure stereomix is slected.

What i believe is happening is that either you dont have stereomix selected in Recording or FMLE or you do have it selected but you have your microphone muted in PLAYBACK. If you dont want them to hear you breathing then mute the microphone and leave stereomix so they can hear Starcraft sounds.

What? Stereo mix is everything that you hear on your computer. Isn't that what you're looking for?

I don't get it. Right click the speaker icon in your task bar. You should see playback Devices... Is that what you're referring to?

Are you streaming over 500 kbps? Did you input the correct information for the rtmp URL?

You cannot stream higher than 500 kbps. Lower it so your combined total is less than 500

"Click 'Allow' when your Flash plugin in your browser asks you if you want to allow the Studio access to your hardware."

Maybe because you let Flash have full permissions by default? Don't worry about it.

exactly, you cant have more than 500kbps combined but also that error happens when your user name and password dont match...

remember the whole FMS line is case sensitive so you MUST put the nick/password and channel name with the same cases you used on livestream.

Stereo mix doesn't work with usb headsets. Either you figure out how to use Virtual Audio Cables or you ditch the headset.

Buzmeg: On the left hand side of FMLE, lower the number under the "Bit Rate" section.

And I'm not sure what your other problem is.

If you're using Camtasia 5, it'll look different. In any case, it shouldn't matter because the recording size is determined by Flash Media Live Encoder.

Sometimes when I use Camtasia it changes my viewing size to half of its original size for no reason? The settings still say 640x480 but the box is only 320x240 in size.

????? i would love to let FMLE fix the size. the problem is that it doesnt. consult the image above... why does the livestream only show the middle box portion of the 640x480 and not the whole 640x480 which is clearly displayed in the FMLE's output viewfinder?

camtasia records my screen while FMLE encodes it for live streaming (which is turned on with the webcaster)?
been messing with it for about 10 hours and cant figure it out. im sure it's simple oversight but as things like this can be frustrating, i am frustrated. when i watch the "sample.flv" that the encoder produces.. it is in 640x480 but on my stream channel it only shows the inner box of that 640x480 window. i am lead to believe that problem thus lies in camtasia or livestream. alas, i have messed with the camtasia settings. so i think it it in my livestream studio settings. in my sources box, i can only get one camera. that camera's video source is "camtasia video studio capture device" and there is no option to select an "external source"

you don't need webcaster at all. just camtasia for screen capture while FMLE encodes and streams, which happens after you filled out the rtmp address correctly and press the start button in FMLE. what i do is start recording with camtasia before opening FMLE, and then open FMLE and set the input size to 640x480 which should change camtasia's size as well.

ok, i figured out how to turn on the stream using only camtasia and the encoder. but the zoom in problem remains. must be a settings issue?

as i see this picture. camtasia records in 640x480, the encoder is receiving and outputing a 640x480 image, but the livestream studio is receiving and broadcasting only the inner, distorted dimensions of the camtasia recorder/viewfinder...

FMLE kicks the stream to into live mode because of the AutoLive=true at the end of the URL.

so yeah avoid the studio since there really is no use unless you want to transition some clips during streaming.

No need for Studio at all to be honest. If you wanna chat, hop on Procaster or Webcaster to chat. This goes for anyone streaming to be honest. I see people in Studio all the time on stream when they really don't need to be.

Yeah should add an EXIT THE STUDIO guideline after getting rid of the ticker and optimizing the studio because a lot of people are having the 320x240 problem due to being inside the studio.

guys a little help here. when i go live output mode on camtasia it goes back to 320x240.

edit: fixed now new problem

my starcraft game is slow while streaming. what can i do to speed it up? do i really have to enable cpu throttling?

I was trying to start my stream today and everything worked fine until I started starcraft. First camtasia studios closed down, I tried again and same thing happened. Third time it was starcraft that crashed. Anyone know why this is happening? It never happened before.

--------------------------------------------------------

Nvm I got it to work somehow by restarting the livestream webpage. I think that is what caused the problems, not camtasia.

I never ever had problems before. Everything was fine for about a year.
Now, somehow my FMLE(=Flash Media Live Encoder 3) is freaking out.
As a lot of people are streaming, maybe I'll find help here

Everytime I open FMLE my PC gets REAL slow, even when not activated (wtf?) while for the last year everything was fine.

I got a amd dual core running on 2,7 ghz instead of 2,2, also being stable for a year now, so it shouldn't be a problem i guess, tried running on 2,2 today without improvements.
About my hardware set-up: everything quite worked out of the box, no core assigning and everything was fine. Since my PC now somehow gets real slow I tried that but it keeped lagging and beeing slow as hell, no matter what process I assigned to what core, no matter what combination and so on.

Having Broodwar running on core #0 and Camtasia running on core #1 with screencapture (without FMLE) works perfectly, but as soon as I add FMLE it's freaking out.

As mentioned, the funny thing about this whole story is, my PC's still freaking out even when I only open FMLE without actually running it (which causes about 2-3% cpu usage/dedication , don't know whats the english word :p )

So a Setup like that:
-Running Broodwar
-Camtasia minimized, NOT running
-FMLE minimized, NOT running
some how makes my PC REAL slow, don't know why and I've tested everything, of course if I turn both programs on, nothing changes
And yes again: A few weeks ago everything was fine, I didn't change a thing (neither on fmle nor on camtasia) but somehow it's just not working

So does anyone know why it's not working as it's supposed to? Or at least could tell me an alternative to FMLE, just to test if it's the program itself or something I screwed up

Edit: And I got the broodwar ingame cpu option, whichs name I don't remember enabled.
Edit2: On windowmode I don't got that slow pc But playing on windowmode suxx

that's the cpu usage while recording.

First core running starcraft (only) all the time, second core running FMLE all the time and camtasia live output from time to time (when it's about 70%, camtasia was recording, when it's on 5% camtasia was not)

So somehow it shouldn't be a Problem with my cpu I gues, but why is everything slowing down if it's not the cpu?


got the right thread now, right?

To sum it up:
2x 2,7GHZ cpu, amd x64 dualcore
ATI Hd 4800 graka
Windows XP Pro (or Ubuntu, but I'm running broodwar on windows)

It's not fmle as I thought, it's just cause as soon I open it camtasia actually records with the right resolution, which it doesn't as long fmle isn't opened. So I'm pretty sure it's about camtasia and right now I tried cam 3.02, 4.02, 5.02 and 6.02 (which was quite hard to get live output working), everytime the same problem
Tested both, a 24" monitor and a 17", no changes so I'm also pretty sure it's not about scretching the screen to 1920x1200.

Casting with Windowmode works just fine. For test purposes I just ran a windowed replay on h264 loseless convertion, having 50fps. My cpu was at 30% ....
As soon as I enter fullmode, my fps is caped at 6,5 FPS, core #0 is at 10%, core #1 at 100% (core #0 broodwar, core #1 camtasiarecorder). If I don't assign cores both are about 60%, while having 6,5 FPS and broodwar lagging as shit no matter what codec I'm using (h264 / techsmith codec / uncompressed (!) )
And yeah, I got the cpu-option enabled ingame

Reading the total thread again right now, I found a few people who got the same problem, but haven't found an answer to that prob

What do we use for the FMS url now, since it is no longer mogulus? I tired copying ans pasting the livestream link on my page with the rmtp stuff preceeding it but that didn't work. I just keep getting a failure to connect to primary server error.

Edit: Hmm, okay that parts seems to be working now, however when I go into my livestream studio I don't see anything over on the right where it says live. I do, however, see stuff in the FME. Interestingly I can hear the audio (there is a significant amount if interference like screeching though) but the video display is completely black

the interference is probably an echo of you looping your stereo mix by listening to your own stream while streaming your audio

You see a video feed in FMLE, but none in your studio, despite you hearing your own audio in your studio? well, that's weird. Maybe your connection is too slow and you're dropping like an insane amount of frames? dunno

Where would I need to look to see if I'm dropping a significant number of frames?

Also, don't know if it makes a difference but If I switch the camera to my labtop webcam I do see the webcam feed in my studio.

Edit: Wow, I feel like such an idiot, the only problem was that I didn't use the exact capitalization of my livestream name in the FME FMS Url section. It now shows up in my studion on livestream.com/

When you're recording live, take a look at the Encoding log to see if Output drops is significantly high. If you're recording at 10 fps, and you're dropping 10 frames per second, then nothing's ever gonna show.

But this is almost never the case.

Another reason this might be happening is cause your CPU usage is too high. If your CPU usage hits 100%, then it'll automatically drop frames like mad.

Check to see your Camtasia Recorder is actually recording. If you can hear audio, but not see video, it usually means that you're not recording anything on screen.

I tried a search through the thread to see if anyone had any FPS problems, but I wasn't quite sure if this problem has been addressed yet..

So far I have a stream set up with Camtasia 5.0.2 and FMLE3 and it works and all, but I'm having terrible FPS.
Whenever I'm using Live Output in Camtasia, it stays around 6-7FPS, which makes the stream choppy on LiveStream.

Thing is, my BW doesn't lag a bit at all, and neither does my system..

Anyone have any tips?
I've tried using RaptorX's setup with the x264 codec on the first page, RaGe's setup on the first page, and Archaic's setup here.

L_Master: Perhaps you're not sending any video? Or maybe your capture driver is busted. First try to just record stuff with Camtasia, then if that still doesn't work, reinstall Camtasia.

Ackteon: You're not devoting enough system resources to Camtasia. Set its priority higher.

Okay I have a problem that camtasia is only capturing at 320x280 (the live capture settings are at 640x480 still...) and no input size is coming through to FMLE which means it wont stream. I figured that it was just me running windows 7 but im glad its not!

I dont know if this is posted yet, but if you have a free account you need to put your bit rate to 500, but your bit rate is the video bit rate + audio bit rate so i use 460 for video bit rate and 40 for audio bit rate. This way the FMLE can connect, if not you get constantly dropped, i think this should be posted on the OP because it gave me a lot of trouble

Basically, I've tried running live output on Camtasia without FMLE on and it records 28-30FPS just fine. Is there any way to decrease the amt of system resources that FMLE eats up?

You don't want to decrease the amount of system resources that FMLE uses. That'll lead to dropped frames and your stream will look super choppy. On the same note, you'll need a good processor to run 28-30 FPS + Starcraft + FMLE.

Under Studio, Broadcast Live -> Lower right hand corner of the screen. Those 5 tabs down there control what goes onto your stream.

My camtasia seems to be capped at 10fps doing the live capture no matter what I do with it, which is odd because my setup isnt half bad and this is even without FMLE or anything else running, could it be the capture codec causing the cap?

(Non live capture can go to super high fps)

You need to change the fps at two places:
1) When you first open options under the video tab.
2) Click the "Live Output Setup" and under the live capture rate, set it there as well.

Then you probably need to open up FMLE, and set that to the frame rate you want so FMLE can force Camtasia to record at that fps.

So I'm pretty sure it's about camtasia and right now I tried cam 3.02, 4.02, 5.02 and 6.02 (which was quite hard to get live output working), everytime the same problem
Tested both, a 24" monitor and a 17", no changes so I'm also pretty sure it's not about scretching the screen to 1920x1200.

Casting with Windowmode works just fine. For test purposes I just ran a windowed replay on h264 loseless convertion, having 50fps. My cpu was at 30% ....
As soon as I enter fullmode, my fps is caped at 6,5 FPS, core #0 is at 10%, core #1 at 100% (core #0 broodwar, core #1 camtasiarecorder). If I don't assign cores both are about 60%, while having 6,5 FPS and broodwar lagging as shit no matter what codec I'm using (h264 / techsmith codec / uncompressed (!) )
And yeah, I got the cpu-option enabled ingame

Reading the total thread again right now, I found a few people who got the same problem, but haven't found an answer to that prob


Since noone got an Idea about that I now figuered out it MAY be my grafics?
As mentioned it's an HD 4800 and I bought it just a month or so ago. So that'd fit perfectly my "hey everything went perfect a few weeks ago and now nothing's working as it should"-problem and I had a look at CCC.
Actually its running on 160mhz (gpu) and 250mhz (memory) as long as you're using whatever in 2D and only accelerates in 3D mode.

So SC:BW is 2D, right?
Someone got an idea how to make it accelerate in 2D, too? ATI-Tool somehow doesn't work for me :-/
Here's a CCC-Pic:

I'm going to guess that you use a USB Microphone? If that's the case, you'll only be able to get the sound from either your mic or your speakers audio. What you need to do is have whatever sound is being input into your mic to output to your speakers audio. The easiest program to do this is Virtual Audio Cables

Just another note (I've only had experience with Realtek audio so this may not apply to you if you don't have Realtek audio): if anyone has trouble getting selecting game sounds (ie. the sounds coming from your computer) when recording, make sure Stereo Mix is enabled and select Stereo Mix. To enable Stereo Mix, make sure you have the drivers for your sound card installed. Then go to Control Panel > Sound > Recording > right click > make sure Show Disabled Devices is checked > right click Stereo Mix > click Enable. Now choose Stereo Mix as your audio source.

This is pretty much my experience getting in-game sound and my USB microphone to both be heard under Windows Vista and 7.

GG.Win: I have no idea. It's either a conflict with your Flash player... Or your life sucks....

Or livestream hates you. Or something.

Not exactly sure why. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me knows.

ReiKo: Window mode and Procaster.

Any other software that can hook up to FMLE works as well.

Yeah that makes sense. You have a quota every month that you can't exceed. But you get to choose the bit rate for your stream with a maximum of 500kbps, so do the math yourself.

Your quota includes uploads? Uploading will be about 5-10kb/s max unless you turn up the quality

My stream has no sound, and it keeps disconnecting randomly (but goes back up when I tell it to, after I notice it). Occasionally when it disconnects it says "you have a serious hardware problem", but nothing else.

I'm using procaster and my audiocard is some realtek onboard stuff.

People watching my stream ONLY hear the microphone input. If I enable my speakers they can somewhat hear the ingame sound kinda faint in the background, but still.... how to get ingame + microphone working at the same level? I'm kinda lost with the VAC program incase that would help.

Okay so I having a strange sound problem and I can't figure out how to fix it I"ve messed with practically every windows sound option I can think of and I've narrowed it down to something in FMLE.

When I try to stream my stereo mix sound through my stream so that the viewers can hear the starcraft sound or a co-caster on skype the sound comes through as if theres a thick blanket over the speaker. The sound is capped somehow in that it won't come through over a certain volume no matter what happens. Everything comes through less than half the normal volume on my stream and even if I turn DOWN my windows volume I have to turn it down to almost 30% for it to actually get quieter on my stream.

So something is putting an artificial volume cap on my stereo mix sound as it comes through my stream. If I change FMLE to be Stereo Mix instead of Microphone then my Microphone doesn't feed through my stream though it plays my sound through normally but then I can't talk on my stream so it's obviously not an option.

I've tried changing the sample rate and bit rate to match the default settings that pop up when I plug my headphones in. But that makes no real change.

System Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium

I thought I had a better sound card than I did but while looking it up on ibuypower to see what actually made it into the final build of my computer theres only an onboard sound card that the best I can see is some Realtek POS.

edit: Yes I have the volume on FMLE turned up all the way.

edit2: I even tried streaming while recording my sound with Audacity a trick that I used to record Starcraft sound and my mic with Guncam which can only record one at a time. Funnily enough the sound on Audacity comes through full volume it just doesn't come through on my stream that way.

edit3: Even when I disable the Stereo Mix under my recording devices the sound still comes through on my stream just as quiet as before when it shouldn't be coming through at all. If I change Stereo Mix to the default recording device again I get the same issue where my microphone doesn't come through FMLE even when it's set to the audio device on FMLE but not on windows.

LOL temporary workaround I have two ventrilo's open with one of them the sound muted and I have to talk to myself in order to hear myself talking.

is it normal if i stream starcraft, the ingame is a lil bit skipping frames? (like i would watching somebody's stream)
on the other way, in the lobby and main menu the lag is extremely annoying, i can hardly aim to set my race

and i recognized that ingame lag is also extreme when i start the streaming from the windows, not from the game

i have 2,4ghz quad core, atiradeon4770, 4 gb memory and winxp

I'm trying to setup a stream. So far I've had no luck with pro caster. I'm getting the same problem as the person in the previous page. My stream either stays all black or it blinks and lags when I'm playing. I have a high resolution monitor. It seems to stay black when I'm full screen, and shows up but blinks and lags when I use windowed mode.

I have Windows 7, would I be better off with a Camtasia setup?

I had the same problems initially, then I read this thread on how to stream sc2 with procaster, and it fixed my problems.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=112707

Basically you are suppose to load up your game, alt-tab and load up procaster. Then click game mode, but dont click record. alt-tab back into your game, and you should see in the top left corner a HUD that says to start stream press ctrl+f1. Doing it this way works 100% and got rid of both the black screen and the blinking.

HunterKiller: With your hardware, you shouldn't be getting this lag. Are you running a ton of memory intensive background processes or something? You can always try to just turn up the priority of your SC, Camtasia, and FMLE processes too.

Hollow: I found this problem too, and another way that apparently solved the issue for me was running SC in Windowed (Full Screen) mode.

I have a question about having the game sounds play over your stream.

I am currently using livestream.com and Procaster. That is working fine for streaming the video but it is not putting any sound through from the game.

Do i need to setup and have running the virtual audio cables? Or can it all be done from procaster?

If Procaster itself isn't already playing sound despite having "Speaker Audio" enabled in Procaster, then you need to do the following:

Right click the little speaker button at the lower right corner of your screen, click on recording devices. See if you have stereo mix. If you don't see it, right click the window, select "Show disabled devices", if you still don't have it, you need to get Virtual Audio Cables.

I have followed the instructions to the period, and even tried the high quality version, but the most I ever get is like 4 frames a second with Camtasia 5 and FMLE 3 on my DESKTOP. I can easily run any game on the best settings and my internet is really good. I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

I just have the sound dilemma. Is it possible to setup the sound and microphone so that if I use a program such as Ventrilo, it won't pick up my game audio as well? Is this what the VAC does? Currently my setup is simple. I have the record set to "What I Hear" and my microphone set to "playback". If I want to talk to people tho, they hear my game clearly as well which I don't want, it's annoying as hell for them usually.

I'm using windows XP and the only things that are displayed in VAC are, Microsoft Sound Mapper, Sound Blaster, VAC 1, VAC 2. I don't have a microphone selection. Frustration >.>.

I been trying to find SOMETHING explaining this but I have not found anything at all as of yet. Guess I'll keep the googling up, help's much appreciated .

I don't have Ventrilo on me at the moment, but why can't you set Ventrilo to take the input from the microphone directly?

livestream is moving to the direction where they want only original content. so i guess it would work better if you upload some of your own fpvods instead of getting some clips from youtube

1. do not be in the livestream studio at all times
2. open camtasia and start recording, doesn't matter what resolution it is
3. open adobe FMLE, make sure rtmp address is correct, make sure isAutoLive=true is in the address, change input resolution to 640x480, adjust other settings, press start

For streaming with a dual core computer, do you have to manually assign both the game and the streaming utility to different cores each time? My computer always reverts back to both cores everytime I reboot.

Im trying to set up a stream and im having two problems

When I select live output capture a message says: The "Camtasia Studio Vieo Capture Driver" must be installed to use live output. Pease install the live output support using your product setup program.

I used a torrent to DL camtasia because otherwise my dl would get stuck (i dont know why) at 97% or so.

My other problem is configuring the adobe flash media live encoder settings. I have the preset set as "custom" but i'm unable to select, type in, or browse for the Video Device, which remains dark gray.

Both are actually the same problem and are caused by you not checking 'install live video capture driver' during your camtasia installation.

Reinstall camtasia with that option checked and you should be good to go.

I'm getting a weird problem with FMLE all of a sudden. Everything was working fine yesterday, but now when I try to connect, I get:
"Problem with Primary Server
Failure to connect to primary server. Please verify that your Server URL and application name are valid and that your internet connection is working and retry."

I've checked the server URL several times. This is what I have in it, except my password where the stars are:
rtmp://publish.livestream.com/mogulus/gitprigel/username=RigelCyrosea/password=****/isAutoLive=true

There's definitely nothing wrong with my internet connection, and FMLE still records straight to video fine.
Anyone know what's going on here?

Any free camtasia 5's floating around out there? it's ridiculous that one has to shell out decent money to be able to recognize an old directx codec

So, I'm trying to set this up because there is such a huge lack of BW streams and am noticing two things, one is a some lag with the stream. Seems like livestream.com itself and Camtasia are what like to eat a hige chunk of my processing power

Secondly, starcraft is not showing up as a full screen, I'm only getting a little chunk of it to show up. I'm not in windowed mode and have the recorder/FME settings at 640x480.

Any help is much appreciated.


I was being an idiot and hadn't read through the entire thread. Please Ignore.

Were you replying to me ? If so, I use the Procaster not the livestream studio.

Check your audio settings in procaster then. Can you at least tell us your set up so it's easier to help

Camera audio: I have my mic selected
Screen audio: Speaker's audio is the only option

I've tried muting them 1 at a time, muting both, and obviously muting my livestream channel or not even opening it in the browser. The problem happens when people on ventrilo try to watch the stream it echos for them, not so much for me since I'm muting the channel if that makes sense.

Whenever you start a game of SC, your camtasia must be stopped/started in order to fix the colors. So press the stop hotkey, then the start hotkey, and the colors should return to normal.

anyone know the NEW input for using FMLE, I need the new URL Styling.

currently - rtmp://fme.livestream.com/livestream/##/username=##/password=##/isAutoLive=true - not working

thanks in advance. <3

edit - Hold this thought please. I just removed the livestream and added mogulus back into it, and it connected. Kinda odd, but if it works, it works.

Doesn't matter if you use livestream or mogulus. It'll still read either.

And Livestream fucking sucks. Jesus christ. Terrible. Interface gets worse and worse by the day and the 500 kbps bitrate limit is awful.

Does anyone know how to disable automatic past livestreams from being put in the Libary / on demand section? I don't want all my livestreams to be public. But they are all recorded and put on my stream page.

If you are using Procaster, click on Preferences and under the Livestream Tab, uncheck "Automatically add recordings to on-demand library" then click Save.

Still wondering if this is any good or needs to be updated. I have tried and tried for weeks and cannot get this stream to work, have checked and checked to the last period and have gotten nothing. Tried ustream and kinda have to say it's fucking worse than livestream because it seems to crash every god damn time I log in. Livestream.com kinda fucking sucks even more, but I have watched more than 100 how to's for both sites, and yet it seems I cannot get this to work. My fps is at about 10 when it does feel like broadcasting live on lowest settings with an amazing computer, and I can't get this shit to work, and it's very frustrating.

Question for you Rage: How do I get the volume to be "What I hear?" Right now, it's set at Microphone and my stream is fine and everything, but I'd really love to be able to listen to music while I play. When I try to listen to music when my sound input is set as Microphone, it makes a harsh sound for the viewers and really uncomfortable for them to watch. Here's a SS of what I'm talking about.

[image loading]

Also, since the limit for Procaster is 500kbps now, is there a way I can adjust the quality above 398 kbps and near the limit? I do wish my video quality would be better. Also, is it normal for Iccup games to lag while streaming?

I'm kinda having a problem similar to this.

I've streamed in the past with Camtasia+FMLE on another computer, but I've got a new one and it's now on windows 7, and whenever I stream in game get a blackish screen where I can see some white stuff moving (workers), I see the dragselection box and the minimap box. It's not the color problem, because no amount of stopping/starting the stream worked.

It actually looks like this:

It doesnt show very well in the screenshot but there's usually some white stuff moving.

Anyway anyone know how to fix this?

You are able to connect but it keeps getting disconnected. This could be your network problem, it could be a problem on livestream's end, it could be your connection to their servers.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this but if not just move me.
I've been searching the forums for information on setting a stream up on the sideboard of TL. I have a verified stream and I have messaged Sonuvbob, but received no reply for 4 or 5 days now. Is there some way I can get ahold of someone else that deals with the streams? Is there information on here that I just can't find? If anyone knows could you send me a PM explaining? It would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm having trouble with my audio.
I can get my mic working, but I want to stream the gamesounds rather than the microphone.
The only options I have in camtasia and FLME for device are mic and line in, both of which result in streaming mic sounds.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try going to Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Audio ->
Under Sound Recording click Volume -> Instead of Microphone choose Stereo Mix or What You Hear Is What You Get (something like that, depends on your audio card).

These are instructions for WinXP, should be similar for Win7 too.

Maybe I'm just a straight up noob, but any thoughts on Adobe FMLE not being able to detect Camtasia (7)?

"No video capture device detected.
Flash Media Live Encoder requires a video capture device to be connected and properly installed."

Note: If I plug in my webcam, it can detect that so...

You installed a version of camtasia without live capture support. They removed it in the later versions cause it was already buggy in the earlier versions afaik.

You need the buggy earlier version though, since it's the only thing that'll live capture BW in full screen.

So because of Windows 7, I'm forced to play in window mode 2x mode now. Obviously, this means that I'll have to change the settings in Adobe FMLE, but what are the optimal settings that I should set it to? I'm not sure what the settings should be.

Yeah, Windows 7 freezes up Brood War. There's no fix to it besides playing it in Window mode. Setting affinity to 0/ checking compatibility options/killing explorer.exe all doesn't work and it's too much of a hassle to install a new OS so I'd like to figure out how to stream in Window 2x.

i dont understand, are you trying to stream SC2 or SC1? If you're trying to stream sc2 you need a beast of a computer. TO give you some perspective, i can run SC2 on high settings with only a little bit of lag, but if i try to stream sc2, i have to set everything to low and even then it screws my computer over and is really hard to play.

Your upload is fine, basically sounds like your computer needs upgrading. Video processing is intensive man

i dont understand, are you trying to stream SC2 or SC1? If you're trying to stream sc2 you need a beast of a computer. TO give you some perspective, i can run SC2 on high settings with only a little bit of lag, but if i try to stream sc2, i have to set everything to low and even then it screws my computer over and is really hard to play.

Your upload is fine, basically sounds like your computer needs upgrading. Video processing is intensive man


Trying to stream sc1. i also just found out that i got 3 mails from livestream saying error: streaming at a bitrate over 500kbps. Does this have something to do with it and if so how do i fix this?

don't stream over 500kbps looool

make sure audio + video bitrate doesn't exceed 500

Are you sure you installed the video capture driver for camtasia during installation? What are the two options it shows you?

I couldn't get the sound to work despite it previously working perfectly so I reinstalled adobe live media encoder. Then when I tried to stream with the exact same settings I got.

I'm having trouble with my audio.
I can get my mic working, but I want to stream the gamesounds rather than the microphone.
The only options I have in camtasia and FLME for device are mic and line in, both of which result in streaming mic sounds.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try going to Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Audio ->
Under Sound Recording click Volume -> Instead of Microphone choose Stereo Mix or What You Hear Is What You Get (something like that, depends on your audio card).

These are instructions for WinXP, should be similar for Win7 too.

Thanks but I've already done that. Weird though cause it looks like I have the same problem.

Also, if you have multiple soundcards, make sure that correct one is chosen when applying those settings in Control Panel.

This is a Windows 7 problem with BW.

Try applying this registry patch and see if it helps:

So... I'm trying to stream BW. Podcast for livestream is crap because you can't play fullscreen. I tried using UStream, but I can't use Rage's guide because it's impossible to grab Camtasia 4 and it doesn't work with Cam 6 (the one I have on cpu). I tried to use what SC2ers are doing, and failed miserably. Anyone know of a way?

Camtasia 4 is on the main website?

You can just google a random cd key that someone posted on a forum or commented on some torrent site if you don't have one.

So I've got everything right... except when I try to launch my stream it tells me my Primary URL is wrong. I have a ustream and a livestream channel, but I'm using the example solely from the mogulus thing. Can someone please please please show me how I should write the Primary URL for either.

Hello, I am a streamer here at TLnet, SC2 / BW streamer. I recently started playing BW again and streaming again as well, I have the same problem that it seems alot of people are having, I am trying to stream in fullscreen mode on windows vista, the problem is I get sound, but the viewers can't hear the sound on the stream when I am in fullscreen, I don't have stereo mix, ' what you hear ' or any of the options in the guide, I've tried everything and actually have been trying to figure this out on my own for over a month now, with no success.

I would really appreciate it if someone knew how to use virtual audio cables, or any other way to fix this common issue so I can stream BW in fullscreen mode, I have virtual audio cables but I can't figure out how to set them up, and I already read the thread on VAC too, no success. Thanks alot, please PM me or just post answer here if you know how to fix it, or can help.

Thank you.

If you don't have stereo mix or ' what you hear ', try updating your sound drivers. You really should have that option.

First off, epic guide. It really made this otherwise notoriously-painful process simple as taking a sugar pill. I have a small issue that I've been unable to pin down for the FPV for my own games.

Bumping and double post for a good reason. 2 new problems existing. 1 has been mentioned as far back as page 12 with no response, and a new one I've as-of-yet had no luck finding anyone with a similar issue.

1) My computer has a built-in mic that I can't seem to turn off. If I want to record things from a mic, it automatically gets both of my headset mics and the built-in mic running. The issue here is that it causes a dual-echo-effect that really annoys the crap out of my viewers. No matter what settings I mess with, either on my audio driver, or on my Control Panel >> Sound and Audio Devices, etc I can't get the built-in mic to stop being used. Its a P.O.S and I know its crappy but its over-riding my headset mic which is HQ and works fine if it operates alone. How can I disable my built-in? I'm using Windows 7 64bit Ultimate btw.

2) Livestream Studio "hiccups" or something during my live feeds. On the Studio screen in the Camera Tab, it labels my camera as normal, but will randomly stop my feed. It freezes the stream, and creates a clone of my camera under the same name. The old camera ceases to stream any data, and the new one is the only source of the stream. The only fix to this so far I've found is to actually exit out of the game, delete all the clone cameras and then re-cue the last clone camera to start the feed again. This is incredibly annoying because I can be right in the middle of a tutorial, or in the middle of casting a tournament/OSL/MSL, and the feed just cuts out. Is there any fix for this? Could this be because of my Dynamic IP and the studio is reading it as a feed from a different system?

Thanks in advance for responses.

Followed this guide to the dot, but I'm having trouble setting up Audio

In FMLE, I only have 3 devices to choose from for audio, which are Microphone Array, Line-in/Microphone Array, and Rec. Playback. I assumed that the third one was what I needed selected in order for audio to work, but when I chose it I'd get the error message "audio format provided by audio capture device not supported by this application", and I can't go live if I do have it selected.

did some more searching about, and here's additional info: My audio is IDT Audio and my laptop is a Studio 17 by Dell. I read that some Dell computers have Stereo mix disabled already, and if so, how can I get that fixed?

Actually apparently Rec. Playback is the Stereo Mix. But as I said before, FMLE won't let me use it because it says the audio format is not provided.. how to fix?

Hey. I used the guide and everything is working fine for me except for one small problem. In starcraft, the camera is zoomed into the game too much. I'm not sure what is causing this or how to fix it. Let me know what detailed info you may need to help me out.

In the guide it says 640x480 so that's what i set it to, except in FMLE where the pic has the output size at 320x240 ( i tried changing this to 640x480 and it didn't have any effect).

First, try restarting your computer.

Second, try closing any programs that might be using Camtasia as a video source and then restart again (this time making sure that said program is not running).

What tends to happen is if there is a program (like Skype) that also uses Camtasia, you're going to get a screen that's 320x240.

So try that.

I remember I had this problem as well. I don't remember exactly, but the trick is that you have to turn the programs on in a specific order... such as:

1. Start Recording
2. Start FMLE
3. Start Broadcast

Something like that. Play around with the order in which you start the streaming devices, and then you should be able to get the camera right. It took me a while, sorry that I don't remember the order though t.t.

hope it helps, gl

You can change the hotkeys for stop/start stream in camtasia recorder (tools, options, hotkeys)

I am using livestream procaster and livestream studio and I hear that if you cue a video before the stream, it delays the stream by that much. Is this true and how do i do it?

I have been fiddling for about 3 hours now and still no luck, so if anyone knows the way to Mecca, please point it out to me -_-.

There's a natural delay with procaster, around 15 seconds I think, is that not enough? Why do you need a delay at all?

I am casting a tourney where there is the possibility of stream cheating.

The stream has to be uploaded at a low quality for everyone to be able to watch, and its therefore possible for the players to have the stream open and/or a skype call up to another person and hear what their opponent is doing.

I think I might have found a fix, but need to explore more. Any sure fire fixes plz tell tho.

I've asked this before at livestream and Adobe FMLE forums. IIRC, you can't add an artificial delay because you'd need to have a huge buffer. Unless you set up your own streaming server or something you might be out of luck.

What i have found is that when u start recording it adds the recording file to the livestream library. If you add this file to the autopilot, it stops recording (continues to upload tho :/ ) and adds what u have recorded to the stream,

This means that if you set up a 15 minute autopilot, and then add the 15 minute game after its finished to the autopilot this 15 minute is "cached" by the server, u cut the stream, start the stream again asap, and then have the game broadcast delayed by that amount.

But basically, you might as well just record the game, then play it when its done while you record the next one.

:/

Do I need to install and put in information to Flash Media Server 4 thing? There's lots of information to put about my company, which I don't have. Just fill it with random scribbles?

I tried streaming using Dyyno Universal Broadcaster, but the sound is really bad. After a short while it starts crackling a lot, even after I mute my broadcast.

Im not getting any audio at all, ive tried everything. Whats wrong?

edit: This is the errors i get now: 1. audio format provided by audio capture device is not supported by this application
2. please verify that the video capture device is working correctly or in not already in use.


I had this problem for windows 7 ultimate 64bit. I fixed it by going to my main microphone and NOT check the box "Listen to this device." There was a guide by total biscuit saying that you should check it, but after i UNCHECKED it for all devices (including my stereo mixer), FMLE was able to recognize the stereo mixer when selected. Then sounds came to my stream and I thought i should share with the community. Good luck. Hope it works for you.

Thank you so much ikaboo, I've been waiting for someone to solve this for months now. If I could vote you up or give you points, I would!

i followed the guide here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=90892#

and it worked perfectly, set up VAC for audio and video and audio work fine.

i have a major problem however, in that for some reason I can't disable the "m" hotkey for markers. the area is greyed out and doesn't allow me to change the "m" key it defaults to with "none". i've restarted and everything, nothing seems to work.

sorry to bother but not being able to make marines is kinda huge >< hahaha.
