Very impressive little piece of software. It and FFsplit are pretty similar in almost every way except for the overlay system.

How is performance in FFSplit ?
Cause you cant escape the performance hit as encoding will strain your CPU no matter what software you are running. The encoding needs to be done somehow, either be dedicated hardware or a software solution using your CPU.

Edit:

Ive run some tests and this is not better than XSplit. Its a good free software but considering the amount of features you are lacking compared to XSplit its worth the small bucks for XSplit if youre a streamer.

First the performance.....its not faster than XSplit. Encoding will ALWAYS be stressful to your CPU unless you get dedicated hardware. What FFSplit is using default is "Screen Region" which is LESS cpu intensive than using for example game source of xsplit or DXtory. BUT it looks 5x worse. The animation is choppy and you can also use Screen Region in XSplit if you want the performance gain trade of quality loss.

And the overlay options are really really lacking compared to XSplit. I mean its a good free software but it has a long way before reaching XSplit quality.

WTF?

This is incredible!

1080p 60fps is smoother on OBS than 720p 30fps is on xsplit, ffsplit... LOL :D

I get about the same performance.

However, regardless of whether you use FFsplit or OBS, it makes me happy that there are legitimate, free alternatives to XSplit.

OBS is rather glitchy is it not?

It doesn't detect my video capture devices, so i'm unable to stream using it..

You should post on the forums about it with whatever info you can. The guy making OBS is usually really quick to respond to stuff and that's the only way to fix things like that

Is it possible to stream on a Core2 Duo E8400 / HD4870?, since I don't have access to my main PC for a while. I tried streaming but kept coming up with error and was wondering if that was caused by my CPU not being powerful enough or if I had my settings too high (Was trying to stream at 720p @ 30FPS)

I miss my 2600k

woah, 720p on a core 2 duo? if you're streaming bw you should be able to do 480p but otherwise, i dont see you streaming any recent games as most games are cpu bound nowadays. If you had a Q8400 that wouldve been a different story. I had a q8200 for a while and could do 720p on it while it was only oc'd to 3.14 ghz.

GPU has nothing to do with streaming. 9mbit upload is plenty for 720 or 1080p.

1) what do you guys think has the best performance(lowest cpu and gpu load) for streaming with win xp 32 bit
... ffsplit does not work with xp, so what would you advice, xsplit, fmle or somethin totally different?

2) is it normal that if i stream with xsplit, starcraft 2 has enough frames ingame in every situation while streaming, but the stream looks like he has only 10-15fps, although i did adjust 25fps
what i mean is, if my cpu/gpu is too slow, will i notice it first on the stream, or is this more like a sign for wrong settings or sth like this? im streaming on win xp prof 32 bit with a i3-3220, 4gb ddr3 and ati hd 4870
