Own3d is simply paying their top streamers more than Twitch pays their top streamers. I think from a technology standpoint that Twitch is the optimal choice for both streamers and viewers though.

if we have numbers here maybe we can drop ours too

this are the default standard revenue share rates for regame.tv since 5 months now:

3.6$ for Germany, Finland, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Spain

2$ for all other countries

The fillrate for the last 30 days was 74,22%

Broadcasters with more then 100.000 monthly impressions can apply for a higher revenue rate, up to 5.5 $ for Europe and 4$ for U.S


maybe people sometimes need to check out the little ones too. Little doesnt mean there is not sufficient bandwidth available. We alone operate a 37Gbit/s infastructure and do not even saturate 10% of it most of the time.

But this is pr 1000 viewers right? If I am not mistaken then justin give you 2 dollar pr 1000 viewer pr commercial. Does your site offer any "/commercial" commands?

it is per 1000 commercials. a commercial command is available but is limited to 4 commercials per hour to avoid abuse.

Explain from a technical standpoint how it would be possible for Own3d to show notably higher quality streams than twitch when all encoding is done client side?

Why should I have to explain that from a technical standpoint? The quality is higher, that is enough for me. Also I seriously doubt all encoding is done on the client side, but that is not mine to explain. Twitch quality lowers if there is much (EDIT: and much is not really that much even; it pixels if there are some units moving) going on, while owned does not.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. If you are watching a lower resolution transcode done by the site, they could look different at the same resolution if twitch and own3d use different settings for bitrate etc, but they are both optimised id assume for quality at their target bandwidth.

Watching the actual live stream (XXX + resolution on twitch) or i think maxed on own3d (which you have to be to watch without a delay of like 30 seconds behind live, and the chat) they are just displaying information as it is sent to them from xsplit or whatever streaming program, and "it pixels if there are some units moving" is entirely based on the encoding settings and bitrate of the uploader, not the service.

You are true - I don't know what I am talking about, but at least I don't pretend to. I am just watching different streams and notice a difference in quality favoring owned for me.

You can't compare streams like that. Here's why: Select and that other streamer most likely do not use the same settings on their stream. Assuming the same resolution and fps, if Select uploads with a bitrate of say 1500 kbps and that other streamer does it with 2500 kbps, there will be a huge visual difference - the blur that you were talking will be much more present on the lower bitrate stream. If you have ever opened XSplit or FME you will see a ton of settings that affect quality - there's no default stream setting for everyone - it has to be adapted to one's hardware and internet. There's also the fact that Select plays on low graphics whereas the other guy doesn't.

What Cyro said above is all true. It's unfair and wrong to throw around statements that own3d provides higher quality streams than others. They just repeat/distribute what the streamer produces. Some claim that some providers transcode the stream, but this will have a very minor impact to the stream quality (if any).

Some viewers do have lag issues with certain providers, but that is a mixed and often non-transparent problem between the provider, random congestion/routing problems and even your ISP.

I dunno why, but I can usually watch Own3d at 360, while I lag with 360 on Twitch

Thats a server issue, both sites have them occasionally, nothing to do with quality

I enjoy both sites but I don't see why people are bashing on own3d so much. Own3d has room to improve and their current service plays HD stream perfect on my end. Both sites could co-exist!

Absolutely Loomies - the competition is good. Personally I feel that Own3d are doing some essential things worse than Twitch (talking mainly about their flash player implementation) but on the other hand Own3d has features like 'stream delay' that Twitch doesn't. I welcome the opportunity and hope Own3d adapts to user feedback. As for the unfriendly tone, I just think it's a combination of TLers liking Twitch because of their sponsorship and also generally most people just doesn't like change - it takes them out of their comport zone.

I have noticed lately after watching Boxer and Nestea stream that Own3D looks way better than Twitch streams. I dont have the bandwidth to watch Twitch at 720 without lagging but the own 3d runs smooth and looks 10 times better.

All of twitches streams have like a blur around everything and even when I put it to the highest setting of 720+ it still looks grainy+too much bandwidth. Does anyone know why this is?
