Hello! I would like to stream some Starcraft 2 and I've been advised to use Dxtory. So I downloaded the trial version hoping to have a good enough result to buy it. Unfortunately for the moment it is not the case. I followed a guide on Team Liquid and also read a lot of helping threads in this forum. But no matter what I do, my FPS goes from 60 to 20 when I press F12 to start recording. Now, my computer isn't the best there is, but the thing that I find extremely weird is that is goes to exactly 20 when I record. I tried changing some settings often mentionned in these threads such as : - Enable Multi GPU Fix Code - Force GPU Processing - Enable Synchronous Surface Lock - Changing Processing threads from 1 to 4 or even 8 - Changing the codec quality from true quality to medium quality. But no matter what I do, when I record, it goes to exactly 20 FPS. If it was just my computer being bad, I would think that in the best quality and without all these boxes enabled I'd go even lower (10 FPS), and with the worst quality and all the boxes checked I'd reach 30 FPS. But it's always 20... That's why I'm thinking that there must be some kind of limitation on my computer and maybe you can help me figure out what it is. Here's my environment information : + Show Spoiler + [Dxtory] Version: 2.0.111 UID: 34704414-9923-4ba7-9956-693909e7a686 [Dxtory Files] InstallPath: C:\Program Files (x86)\Dxtory Software\Dxtory2.0 AudioStreamSplitter.exe: FileVersion: 1.0.0.0 SHA1: f2f729dc20a4f399704e99beeca855e85e5b9286 AVIFix.exe: FileVersion: 2.0.0.3 SHA1: 9c418e2ef475ce5c13e22f2e4bae24a13e8b5cb4 AVIMux.exe: FileVersion: 2.0.0.3 SHA1: b7d714051302a9081450775d625ffbda7a6ed637 AVIMuxCore.dll: FileVersion: 2.0.0.3 SHA1: 77f91e5cbdb6516492937b09e8779fbfce339ad0 Dxtory.exe: FileVersion: 2.0.0.111 SHA1: 78703acc281d534e24b5fb1931ff8cc20373c054 Dxtory64.exe: FileVersion: 1.0.0.60 SHA1: 14e3f06e6f2afb2dcb8dec2813586253fc58d86b DxtoryAudioHelper.dll: FileVersion: 1.0.0.79 SHA1: 1e11c70e2f744fe9fcb95402c955d14f3d9503ce DxtoryCore.dll: FileVersion: 2.0.0.111 SHA1: 4425e37d7eb3a26208f4e4e0c6f817c59b30008d DxtoryCore64.dll: FileVersion: 2.0.0.111 SHA1: bbfbfb9b37055355e0e917bd0a1997ab43882e00 DxtoryHK.dll: FileVersion: 2.0.0.102 SHA1: 1620be1abce75026c938346b03f2e7db9f58cd97 DxtoryHK64.dll: FileVersion: 2.0.0.102 SHA1: 51cbeb0535a665bf303fea368d1b0d725cc8d6f9 DxtoryMM.dll: FileVersion: 1.0.0.1 SHA1: 82eeaf2ec6ddd70f887ea5e20a80be718600b230 DxtoryMM64.dll: FileVersion: 1.0.0.1 SHA1: c142da021338ef96d13dc82c70c6ba2a443d1108 DxtoryVideo.dll: FileVersion: 2.0.0.97 SHA1: b9c1ff13a061e189affef9ae37f5ae142450b189 DxtoryVideo64.dll: FileVersion: 2.0.0.97 SHA1: 497ef3f62908d7a1f9362fc347198b900fc7c131 DxtoryVideoSetting.exe: FileVersion: 2.0.0.97 SHA1: 44c8cfaea0f5592e35793048d6ba080b37283530 LicReg.exe: FileVersion: 2.0.0.1 SHA1: 451bbe61d429d549ff37f21a96cbd1e83a19d016 RawCapConv.exe: FileVersion: 2.0.0.94 SHA1: d248bdbd934517d5b7f3d2e3b47ddf523303e84f RCStream.dll: FileVersion: 1.0.0.76 SHA1: 31266452f142cd7c856384945ffc410b2c9c8be9 unins000.exe: FileVersion: 51.1052.0.0 SHA1: bc3fdf5ca301bdcda59fdc8102c437f31db3af18 UpdateChecker.exe: FileVersion: 2.0.0.0 SHA1: 221bd3663f4393b368ebf74d1a892f9379ddbe44 [System Information] CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz CPU Instruction Set: MMX SSE SSE2 SSE3 SSSE3 SSE4.1 SSE4.2 OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Édition Familiale Premium x64 OSVersion: 6.1.7601 OSLanguage: 1036 ServicePack: Service Pack 1 Memory0: BANK 0 2,147,483,648 bytes Memory1: BANK 1 2,147,483,648 bytes Memory2: BANK 2 2,147,483,648 bytes Memory3: BANK 3 2,147,483,648 bytes TotalMemory: 8,589,934,592 bytes Total Physical Memory: 8,510,820,352 bytes Available Physical Memory: 5,218,516,992 bytes Total Page File: 17,019,744,256 bytes Available Page File: 13,308,010,496 bytes Total Virtual Memory: 2,147,352,576 bytes Available Virtual Memory: 1,747,222,528 bytes PerformanceCounterFrequency: 1558701 (0x17C8AD) VideoCard: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 Memory: 1,073,741,824 Processor: ATI display adapter (0x68A0) DriverVer: 8.683.0.0 DriverDate: 2009-12-17 01-00-00 Display0: 1920x1080 32bits 60Hz SoundDevice: Périphérique audio USB Manufacturer: (USB Audio générique) SoundDevice: ATI High Definition Audio Device Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.

I recently looked into dxtory for streaming and have been very pleased with the results so far. However I was trying to use dxtory to make local recordings and record them to youtube. I was disappointed to find after waiting 3 hours for a 45 second test clip to upload that youtube couldn't handle the file. So when using the dxtory codec, the avi file that is produced has some kind of "xtor" codec in it, and vlc cant open the file, but windows media player could. Is there any way to convert these files to something youtube can handle? Thanks in advance | ||

My stream quality: Click here for VOD Snapshot: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8NopJl.jpg) I stream at 720 bitrate (for both), fast preset, as well as 96kbs for audio. Is this because I play on High/Ultra settings? Since there's more detail, which I'm assuming takes longer to encode o_o tbh I don't really know much about this stuff. Is this an xsplit setting issue? dxtory setting issue? Here's my speedtest: (I'm Canadian so my internet is horrible) ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1912022446.png) | ||

Lower bitrate? FPS? Resolution? or smthin in dxtory? ingame fps is high 28/1 internet speed i5 2400 hd 5850 bandwidth test on xsplit gives me 760-780 and with a quad core, would setting the preset slow-medium be in my best interest since i have a low upload speed? | ||

I've tried everything from running the stream on extremely low settings that barely stress the CPU to extremely high ones. I bandwidth test every single time before I stream and always get green. My upload/download are very good and I always ensure I connect to the best Xsplit server for me that day. This is incredibly frustrating. I purchased the full version of Xsplit and Dxtory. I've tried xplit screen capture, dxtory + xsplit and gamesource and all of them give me the issue, although dxtory + xsplit is probably the best results. I've also tried setting the affinities differently (every combination possible) and just anything I can imagine to tweak with Dxtory and Xsplit settings. I've wasted hours on this. I read a lot about Xsplit not playing nice with ATI cards. If this is the case, I'm going to buy an NVIDIA card because I'm really fed up struggling through this. Here's my settings (all of my drivers, bios and everything are completely up to date): CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Overclocked to 3800 Mobo: ASRock M3A770DE Memory: 8 GB DDR3 DRAM Frequency 480.0 MHZ Graphics: Radeon HD 6850 1 GB Bandwidth test results (speedtest.net): ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1921106634.png) Stream settings: I post these reluctantly, because I have tried every single combination of stream settings known to man, but here's what I roll with for now: Quality: 7 Xsplit Default Setting anywhere from 700 to 1000 to 1500 to 2000 upload/buffer depending on my mood. All of them give the same results "choppy" wise. FPS: 22 Resolution: Every combination of 16:10 discovered in history, although my default resolution is 1680x1050 (I usually use 1440). HELP please. I'd very much appreciate it. Is it playable? Yes, barely, but it definitely affects my quality of play. I move slower, miss overlords, double build units, mismicro banelings, etc. I like streaming a lot, but this is so frustrating to play with. That said, when I play without streaming, it's like taking a massive handicap off my game and I feel like the fastest SC2 player alive. It's sort of akin to using a doughnut on your baseball bat before going up to the plate. :-(. Gotta find the bright spots. Here's a link to a vod of my stream if that's helpful: http://www.twitch.tv/karakstarcraft/b/316415723?t=25m14s | ||

Athlon II x4 3.41 gb/2.5nb 7/7/22/31 1348mhz RAM 4GB gtx460 gpu (severely underclocked memory clock, due to issues, damn msi) ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1925256950.png) Best server based on ping Justin.tv account Settings: 1280x768 (only thing that works on my monitor without screwed up edges or blurriness) Ultra Graphics settings Xsplit: Preset: Xsplit Default (not sure where to put) Quality: 10 (not sure where to put) VBV Max/Buffer: Both 2200 bitrate (seems that this is the highest I can get with the 'green' light on bandwidth test) 16 khz 16 bit mono, 12800bitrate Resolution: 1280x720 (only one xsplit seems to allow?, have to pay if i want to make it 1280x768 . I think I want 5:3 resolution since that's what 1280x768 is, but there's no option to make a custom resolution so I can't do that) 25fps I've overclocked my budget PC's CPU, RAM, and NB as hard as it could go for 24 hour stable (sadly it was stability limited, though got another core). I run sc2 just fine on ultra with my resolution. But I'm not certain where to go with xsplit settings, or exactly. I hear different things from every guide, but none really say how to take into account my less-than-ideal CPU but more-than-enough upload. I've tested streaming before, but I was on .6up and the game had too much input lag. I haven't really tested it out now that my upload is way better, but was wondering what settings I should try to go for now, and how to put more of the stress on my upload than my cpu. I'm also wondering if I should get more RAM... none of the guides talk about hardware, and or good upload. I don't use DXtory. I don't know why, but my ~60 fps when using just xsplit, or not using xsplit, goes to like 10-15 fps even when nothing going on. Dxtory seems to crap everything out. Also: I play on Full screen mode, with "Enable Game Source" off. Is that right? I'm a bit confused on if I need to be windowed or not, windowed seems to hurt performance, and what enable game source is or if i should use it. One confusing thing about this is like, I can either drag over a screen region right... but I somehow got it so I can also set camera region to : "Screen window "Starcraft II" in "sc2.exe" process" edit: So I've played around - and there doesn't really seem to be a difference between playing on full screen on sc2, or windowed (full screen), having "enable game source" on or off, using screen region or screen window sc2 process, or any combination of those things. I dont get it. My fpd is like 30-50, i dont like it, but I dont have input lag like i did when i played on .6up. I think I just need to lower my graphcis or something. Not sure what to set my resolution too... | ||

Did you 'turn on' DXTory by hitting F12 (default start/stop key). Note that some of the older DXTory versions do not respond to the hotkey, I believe it was ~2.0.108. | ||

Your video's were extremely easy to understand and I got everything set up in a few minutes. I was unable to stream at 360p with low textures and low quality sound before I used your method >.> Now I can stream at the highest quality audio and 720p just fine with Ultra graphics on Starcraft 2 Just when I thought I was going to give up on streaming, this comes along and completely changes it ^^ My Upload speed is 0.6 Mbs by the way, haha. Thank you! | ||
