Premium account for dxtory? I don't think you need a premium account for dxtory to play fullscreen. Besides, I will have fullscreen capture implemented sooner rather than later, hopefully

Hey there, I just started using this and I'm unfortunately having the same problem I've been having with Xsplit and FFsplit too. When I use screen region as a source everything just gets inexplicably laggy and choppy. Windows animations will even look laggy even though the computer doesn't feel bogged down at ALL. In LoL it'll tell me I have a 110 fps but it feels sub 30. I'm on Windows 8 right now but I've had this problem for over a year in Windows 7 too. I have no clue how to fix it but it's been killing me for over a year now if anyone has any tips please let me know!

You cannot stream with screen region with Windows 8. It lags everything. I suspect all of OBS/XSplit/FFsplit will need to do some updating before they can work fine.

To get around this I've created two scenes: one for when I'm playing the game, which uses 'Window Source' rather than 'Monitor Source'. This doesn't lag at all, but doesn't show anything apart from the game. Then when I want to show other stuff like browsers or what not, I switch to the other scene which is the 'Monitor Source', since FPS doesn't matter for that stuff.

Thanks! This will provide a decent alternative but I do hope I'll be able to stream without a problem popping up each time soon. I'm actually pretty sure I had the same problem in Windows 7 too but I can't be sure anymore since it's been a while but I've had similar problems with other programs for the last year.

In Windows 7 when you start all these stream programs disable the Aero interface returning you to a very basic stripped down version of the GUI, which has much less strain. This hasn't been implemented for Windows 8 and I suspect that could be a cause.

After I install windows 8 on an isolated machine I'll see if it's possible to make a monitor capture that works better on windows 8

That would be great Jim! And yeah Firebolt it could be related but I think Windows 8 atleast sort of dropped Aero. It definitely isn't called Aero anymore and Windows 8's variant seems different to me atleast, the way transparency works etc. A lot more understated and clean.

I'm still waiting for an answer. Why OBS so often disconnects from Twitch? I can't stream, because almost every minute it disconnects...

Deagle - I'm not always on teamliquid, and sometimes things pass me by. You can always feel free to email me directly if you wish. obs.jim@gmail.com

You're asking why is it disconnecting for you? I would have to have more information -- your connection, your settings, whether you're dropping frames.. When twitch decides to disconnect someone it's not always apparent as to why.. Sometimes it's because you drop too many frames, sometimes it's because your framerate is too wild or something, it could be any number of reasons. I would have to have more information about your setup to get a good idea as to what's going on.

720p @60fps, medium preset
CPU is an i5-2500k Oced to 4.6



Why are you trying to use Medium preset? Use Veryfast unless you have good understanding and reason not to. Medium is many times harder to encode at for very little gains.

When I capture Starcraft 2 Inner window and I alt tab, I can still see my desktop and all my skype programs. I thought inner window will show SC2 and not the rest of the desktop?

I believe disabling Aero causes that, at least it does for me.

I'm having major trouble finding good settings which makes it possible to stream without having to sacrifice game flow. Atm I can stream but I have quite some lag in-game and a "sluggish" feel over it.

I'm confident that I have the hardware - but I don't know about the settings...
GPU: 7950
CPU: i5 (Old version, think it's at 3,3GHz)
RAM: 8GB
Network: 100/10 Fiber (in reality I get 94/13~)

Here's a VOD from yesterday (nvm about sound, I forgot I had it muted :p):
http://sv.twitch.tv/nvrland1/b/338488080

You can totally see that there's no flow in the video and that's what I would like to improve!
The settings I'm using atm is:

Encoding
Video Quality: 6
Max Bitrate: 5000
Buffer Size: 1000

Video
Resolution downscale: 2x (960x540) (I've tried 1080p, 720p and this but the lag is unaffected by stream res)
FPS: 60

The CPU preset is at "veryfast".

Thankful for any help!

As far as i noticed the scene only gets adjusted to the size of the window you selected as source, thats how it works for me.
I can't make it stick to the window even if i alttab.

This has to do with layered windows, I believe. You can try this but I have no idea how up to date it is.

Tried this program, can get decent quality with it. Problem is when I enable sound, the sound goes on to echo itself. I have the microphone switched to off in the program and the speaker one to on which enables OBS to stream my sound I suppose. Now when I watch on my laptop, and this goes for my mate as well, the audio will echo itself constantly for some reason. Anyone know how I might fix it?

Are you sure you don't have your stream open in the background without being muted?
