It's a weird thing and it's one of the reasons I actually tried cracked premium vers of xsplit before bying it (I deleted it after, let's assume I did  ). I tried to stream SC2 using game source and dxtory and dxtory taxed my PC a bit less for all I know : my game ran at 100+ fps and I streamed/played without any flaws. With game source instead of dxtory my game ran at ~90 fps (means its a bit less optimized), the videoq quality was the same, same resolution e.t.c ,but I felt that latency increased and I experienced SPIKES in game , like it kept micro-freezing for 0,01 sec every 2-3 seconds for no reason - my connection has a plenty of room ( 10 mbit upload, i use less than 2 mbit to stream ) and the fps was well over 80. but the game was just stuttering as hell. | ||

This was screwing up my stream for the longest time and I just now turned it off and my stream is running so much better. | ||

You will want to adjust your settings for "Local Recording". One of these will be max bitrate, which is exactly what you are inquiring about. Then, you just need to go to menu Broadcast -> Local Recording to start recording to your hard drive. NOTE: If you are streaming live as well, make sure you start both profiles. For example, I want to stream to Twitch.tv and I also want to make a local recording. When I'm ready to start streaming and recording, I would go to menu Broadcast and then click "Twitch.tv - apoctv" to start streaming. Then I would again go to menu Broadcast, but this time click "Local Recording". That would result in me both live streaming to my channel on Twitch.tv and recording locally. (Don't forget you need to stop them both when you are done, haha) On April 26 2012 17:57 Avean wrote: Its not adviced to put max upload speed on Max Bitrate. This should only be done if you are partnered with Twitch.tv (Automatic Transcoding). If you put 5 Mbit on bitrate you are basicly saying "Sorry! You need atleast 5 Mbit inbound to view my stream". Also the VBV Buffer should be 1 to 2x the bitrate. I am using 2x bitrate for best results. I think you misunderstood what I was talking about at that part in the guide. Putting your max upload speed as the bitrate is *only* for speed testing ingestion servers. Yes, for VBV buffer the guideline is 1:1 to 1:2. But in almost all cases, 1:1 will be perfect for users, which is what we stated in the guide. Less than 1:1 can result in video artifacting. But, we will discuss this and a ton of other topics further in depth in the advanced guide -- which is coming soon. | ||

It says that's covered in the advanced guide but I can't find it. Great guide. In the video guide this was covered. But to answer your question, for live streaming you can set quality from 0 to 10. For local recording, you can set it from 0 to 20. So, to get higher than quality 10, you need to use the "Local Recording" profile. | ||

When I use local recording however, I get really big files which take ages to upload on Own3D or Youtube. I would like to limit the bandwidth. You will want to set the max bitrate in the "Local Recording" profile in XSplit. It can be found at menu Broadcast -> Edit Channels. If it's not in the list, click "Add" and add it. | ||

My settings are: 1920 x 1200 720p 60fps VBV Max bitrate = 5000 Any ideas on what i am doing wrong? Edit: XFX Radeon HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Intel® Core i7-2600K Processor Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3, Socket-1155 I play sc2. | ||

I have a new question: I often experience an issue right at the beginning: In the first seconds, the image is mostly blanked out. I see the motion blocks but no longer the original background image. After some seconds, it returns to normal video. How can I avoid the first seconds of having image artifacts? | ||

Highlight your screen region and click settings and uncheck the second box (optimize for still pictures or something). If anyone else was having that problem, that's how you fix it. | ||

Or is there some special trick to get it to work in fullscreen? | ||

bitrate 500 audio 96 resolution 800x450 quality 8 preset faster aero disabled when I add the game sorce to xsplit, before going live, my ingame fps drops from 60 (vsynced) to 40, when I go live, even with core affinities set, game fps drops to about 20-25. I play on ultra settings at 2560x1440. my specs are 2600k @4.8ghz gtx 680 asrock extreme3 gen3 neo eco 520c 8gb ddr3 1333mhz. my cpu usage isn't causing the problem civ v has absolutely no fps issues and stays above 60, but i play it at 1600x900 and stream it at 1280x720. note: the fps drop to 20 occurs even at the start of the game. is there anything I can do? edit: I ended up enabling aero and now everything is perfect. | ||

I was playing on .6mb up, but just today I got 4mb upload. I hope to start streaming regularly, just every time I play, although I'd have to make work on athlon ii x4 3.4ghz/2.5gb nb and 4gb of RAM (how much ram is necessary to stream?). I think this hardware might be enough to stream, given my upload speed though... right? I just set my bitrates to 2400/2400 at the moment. I haven't really tested out, but when I was on .6mbs up with 1280/768 (my standard resolution) streaming seemed okay, just barely unplayable input lag when I played during streaming. I hope I can stream now with this new connection... or do I need better cpu first? | ||

Grats on your 4mbit upload by the way =) Also, I've only seen that input lag effect from DXTory happen on old CPU's. I've used DXTory extensively on my i7 950 machine and my i7 3930k machine and both of them run beautifully with DXTory and the video input from DXTory on the stream is gorgeous quality. | ||

AMD Phenom x4 955 OC to 3,6 ghz Geforce GTX 560 ti 1GB 5 GB of ram And I just can't get it to stream properly, almost at any quality. I just get like 12-25 fps for some reason, even when streaming low quality. Anyone who can help me? | ||

If not, please post a processor that can. Thanks anyway Yes, you can probably do 1080p or 720p @ 60fps if you overclock. | ||
