Alright thanks. I mean... I could boost it up to roughly 4000 If I wanted to. I have the bandwidth for it. but even when I did, I wasn't noticing the flicker stop, although I think I was on Quality 10 when I tried it last, I'll give it a go, and maybe up my bitrate to 3000. I don't understand how the buffer size works, should it be lower, same, or x2 of your bitrate. I have a 5Mb/s So I want to use it to the fullest to get he best quality.

awesome guide, very easy to setup, i just had 2 questions

firstly, here is a link to the VoD in question:

http://www.justin.tv/anangrydingo/b/280385347



1. the sound is very "tinny" anyone know why that is and how to fix it?

2. the tops and bottom of the screens are cutoff



i am inputting in 1280x720 and outputting in 640x360

settings are as follows

max bitrate- 185 kbps (i know very low, my UL is only around 375 kbps and its the only way i can get it to where there is no input lag)

buffer size- 370



audio encoding: 44.100 khz 16 bit stereo
bitrate- 112000


thanks to anyone who took the time to help!

For me the sound seems fine, I would lower your bitrate for sound to 64000, and are you using a 3.5mm headset/ or are you using usb?

i'm using turtle beach x31's, i used to use them for my xbox 360.

they are wireless headphones, there is a receiver which plugs into USB, and then a green cord that plugs into the headphone jack.

maybe this is the problem, i'm not at my desktop right now, but i'll be sure to try to lower my bitrate later and maybe try without the headphones and see how that turns out

thx!

alright, so the headphones were the problem. sound is normal without them in.

tried to use regular earbuds, but the sound on stream is tinny again

any ideas on a fix so I can play w/ headphones on, but have a normal sounding stream?

thx guys!

try muting your mic while steaming and see if the quality is better

I have a question.

The black bars on the sides in Xplit, is there a way to get rid of those?

I have the Resolution set to 1280x720.

right click the settings and unlock "Keep Aspect Ratio" this will get rid of the bars on the side, but your sc2 will look stretched out.

Hi everyone, I asked this in the other thread but...

I currently have 500 kbps upload and I'll have to pay even more (THANKS ROGERS) to get 1 MBps upload.

I stream at 640 by 360 at 12 FPS (though I used to do 15 at school when I had better upload)

If I upgrade to 1 MBps, would that be enough to stream and play at the same time without lagging my game up? Currently if I do that my game suffers and I'll get 0.5-1 second delay.

Also I saw above that someone was able to actively limit their bitrate with Xsplit. How is that possible - and is it recommended?

One megabit is enough to stream close to 720p, you can even do actual 720p if you're okay with dropping the framerate a little. I prefer smoother motion so I run a little under 720p.

The XSplit configuration guide (OP) has a step that allows you to select video bitrate. I just upgraded to a 1MB connection and I can stream with the following settings:
  • 700 Kbps video, 1400 buffer, quality 10
  • 44.1Khz 16-bit mono audio, 64000 bps AAC
  • 1088x612 (16 : 9) resolution
  • 25 fps

My PC is a Q9450 (quad core, overclocked to 3.2GHz), 4GB ram, with a GTX 460, running SC2 on High graphics settings with 1080p monitor.

My internet is gosu, i have 1MB upload and all that and I have gosu comp but it still causes my game to lag if I'm streaming while I play. It's not smooth like it would be if I weren't streaming. Any suggestions?

Does anybody have an idea why the xsplit sometimes gets more then 500kbps? cuz my upload rate is only 926kbps.
I maxed it to 500 but it ranges from 350 to 750 , at 750 its like playing on the korean server xD
I changed my sound settings a bit does it take alot of upload?!

Thanks for answers!

Whaaattttttt. What kind of FPS do you get in game?

I stream using 500kpps video, 500 buffer, quality 6
44.1khz 16-bit stereo audio, 64000bps
1088x612
22 fps

I only get .67 up though so that might be one of the problems.

I have a Q9550 @ 3.5, 4gb ram, 5770 running sc2 on low @ 1680x1050 and I get huge fps problems while streaming. I'll start off in the 60s but end up in the high teens or low 20s during the late game. I also get huge stuttering or skipping when scrolling around, just a general weird feeling.

if you get really low ingame fps when you start streaming, you can trying lowering the settings for starcraft2, if no effect then stream, non of that work, buy a new pc
Streaming requires a good pc and decent upload

Go to "Edit Channels", and the "Max Bitrate" option should be right there. I would leave ~200 kbps of uploading left for SC2 so you don't have much of a delay. It's definitely recommended to do that.

Streaming at 12 FPS is quite low, though. I recommend going up to 20; it's perfectly doable at 500 kbps.
