Can anyone help me out with my stream?
i think it's fine on the viewers end but i feel the lag which is the worst.
i got an i52500k
8 gb ddr3 ram
Radeon HD 6770 1GB
i like to play the game on specific setttings. everything on low except a few cpu heavy things on medium changes the graphics a bit and its just what i like personally.
keep in mind that im in newyork. these tests are just as far possible in west and east coast like the op guide explained to do.

Ive been messing around with different bitrates. i read you should use 20% less than what you're getting so i was using about 6,000. i get like 7-8 upload .
really the stream is great going out but the game itself has lag. i can play through it but if i ever needed to play good i would opt to not stream because it hinders my play. any ideas? i think the lag is the same on both medium and low settings inside sc2.

I dont really understand what is the preset differences.

Simple answer: The slower the preset the more work you make your CPU do, in exchange for a slightly higher quality stream at the same bitrate.
For example, a 1.5mbit/s "Veryfast" will look a little better than "Superfast", but "Superfast" will use about 50% less CPU than Veryfast.
In other words, high bitrate can be combined with a faster preset to put more load on your network and less on your CPU (uploading more data rather than less, but more well-encoded data).
edit: theres no exact calculation as to what bitrate your stream 'looks' like when using a certain preset, but, I've noticed a substantial difference when I used "Veryslow" to test quality (it looked great but I couldn't do more than 10fps, whereas I normally do 30 on Slower, and 60 on Slow). Just for reference this is with a 2600k @4.5ghz. Keep in mind resolution and framerate also play a huge role in CPU load.
edit2: basically use the slowest one you can deal with while playing if you have less than optimal amounts of bandwidth (I'm stuck using 500kb/s video, and I can pull off good looking 360p streams/480p streams, depending on the game)

Thank you so much for fast response

The main issue that I am having now is that when I do a local recording to FLV the video quality seems extremely foggy. When I record with the same settings to MP4 it's a bit better but still slightly "gray washed" if that's the correct term. It just seems like the colors are a lot dimmer and not crisp or sharp. I have a top of the line computer so if anyone can recommend any settings or link me to the advanced video that might go over something I missed please let me know
The other option that I have, since I really only want to do local recordings, is to find a way to get an editable overlay working on another screen recording software. Fraps won't do it properly andI haven't used dxtory but it doesn't sound like it can do it either.

Right click the picture in xsplit, go to color tab, you can mess around from there. The color issue happens in encoding, so you wont see it in the preview, but i have found setting the second option down on the left to "2" makes the output look a lot better IMO, the white/black left/right semicircle

Any reccomendations?
My stream looks stretched but I cannot find out what resolution I need.
Screen resolution; 1024 x 728 (if i use this for xSplit resolution, the stream is horrible.)
xSplit resolution; 1280 x 720 (seems to be the best so far :/)

You need to use the same aspect ratio for your stream as you have on your screen.
Your screen is 4:3, the stream-setup you mention is 16: 9. That's why it looks stretched.
Ideally, you should use the same resolution as the one your screen uses, 1024x768. Since it's a small amount of pixels than the 1280x720 you tried as well, your computer should be able to handle it. What exactly looks horrible with the 1024x768? Got a VoD to demonstrate the problem?

I have an
amd 7770
core i5 3470k (might have been a misstep buying it over the 2550k?)
4gb ddr3
using 2 monitors (1 with the mb onboard graphics card)
using xsplit with gamesource (screen region flickers for some reason)
is ram an issue at all while streaming?
Am I correct in assuming 1080p is kinda out of reach?
Should I use gamesource or dxtory?
Thanks for your answers.

I would recommend DXTory.
