Awesome guide! Thanks Gunrun I'm and up and coming Starcraft II Commentator and have been figuring things out on my own but it's great to see a guide set up! This will help me fix any issues and be really helpful for anyone trying to start streaming :D

YOU GUYS!!!

I just realized that if you take the "n's" out of "thegunrun" you get "theguru" O.o

holy koala-dicks batman! It all makes sense now.
you can't get mad at basketball cause you think kobe bryant is a horrible person. you don't see basketball forums with "kobe bryant is killing basketball!". it doesn't work like that, how the SC2 community made that connection is beyond me. ~Yoduh

I get a green light from the speedtest to the server, so I do not understand why the video stops from time to time while the sound keeps going. I also have no fps drops on my computer or anything of that sort.

i5 2500k, 8gb ram etc etc...

Any ideas? Tried all the way from 1300kbps to 2000kbps and none of them should cause this lag, right?

And this is my test on speedtest.net

Holy shit at that speedtest. I need to move to Sweden T_T

Are you at a university or something?

This is exactly what I needed. I'm always confused about all the settings in XSplit. One of these guides have been needed for a while.

Awesome guide, except for the fact that the PC req's are way too steep.

Tried it out at home, everything was easy enough to setup thanks to Gunrun's awesome guide ,)
The Phenom II X4 3.5Ghz could handle the 720p well enough I think (was only trying to stream League of Legends though).

I have a few questions though. I just set the bitrate to 1337 like Gunrun did on the screenshot and the speedtest went through fine. Would higher be better? I have 100mbit upload so my connection could handle higher I guess, but is that needed? Is it more taxing for the processor? How exactly does the bitrate influence the quality of the stream?

Also I noticed a strange flickering when I was streaming League of Legends fullscreen. That went away went I used full screen windowed mode, but then I wasn't able to alt-tab properly because the game would always stay on top, so I just saw the task bar but couldn't actually see any windows. Can I somehow use fullscreen and get rid of the flicker? (Using a GTX460 with latest drivers)
