EPTI was using an audio work around, Virtual Audio Cable, due to my not being able to find the stereo mix (mine was disabled), prior to looking at this guide. Now I don't have to, so thanks for pointing that out!

This way your video will never have to switch resolutions and streaming will be flawless in the transition. | ||

I just have one question: Is there any way to set FMLE to 1680x1050 resolution? FMLE has options for 1280x1080 and 1920x1080 but nothing in between...  | ||

I just have one question: Is there any way to set FMLE to 1680x1050 resolution? FMLE has options for 1280x1080 and 1920x1080 but nothing in between... Your welcome... it's the least I could do to give back to all the wonderful streamers out there already. I don't have an answer for you unfortunately, my native resolution is 1920x1080 and never had to change it. On May 13 2010 22:29 h4rvey wrote: Is my system good enough to run this stream? Any system that isn't totally junk can stream, just keep screwing with the output quality until it isn't choppy. Upgrading your internet/CPU/graphics card will get you more quality of course.

Try the x86 version first.. I think pretty much everyone in this thread running the x64 version has had issues. | ||

I was looking at some information on another forum about this and it stated that a possible fix for the 2-3fps thing was to change from FME 3.0 to FME 2.5. I have not managed to test that yet, so it may be a complete red herring, but it's worth a shot. I should also point out that 'internet connection' has nothing to do with that problem at all. Check the encoding logs, you will quite clearly see frequent, absurd drops to really low bitrates, such as 30kbp/s as well as low framerates which cause that juddery issue as well as the artifacting. FME 2.5 MAY alleviate that problem, maybe. it's worth a try. Another thing, VHScrCap can cause a lot of flickering in SC2 UNLESS you play it in Fullscreen Windowed mode. If that occurs for you, that's the solution. Also, Ustream does 4:3 or 16  ratios, not 16:10. Just bear that in mind when choosing which resolution to use.This is overkill. You can stream 852x480 in 500kbps and it will look pretty good. If you're obsessive about quality, VoD to Youtube instead. | ||

Use the 32bit. Funnily enough I was a couple of days from putting up a guide like this (once I got the setup to work), for exactly the same reason as the OP, 'trade secrets' are harmful to the community in general. The OP has saved me the trouble, which is awesome :D Thanks for the props.. of course I'm actually not even using the software so any insight about actually using this setup is appreciated! I'll be adding your tips to the front page. | ||

VHScrCap Settings :- ![[image loading]](http://www.cynicalbrit.com/wp-content/uploads/set1.png) ![[image loading]](http://www.cynicalbrit.com/wp-content/uploads/set2.png) FME 3.1 Settings :- ![[image loading]](http://www.cynicalbrit.com/wp-content/uploads/set3.png) Starcraft 2 is set to run FULLSCREEN WINDOWED. Running in Fullscreen may cause VHScrCap to flicker a lot. Desktop resolution is 1920x1080 (to ensure that SC2 is also running at that resolution) Please ignore those audio settings entirely, since they are specific to my machine and will not work for yours. | ||
