YouthSC for example on the previous page fixed his problem when he switched to 32bit, even though he's on 64bit windows, so it's going to have to be optional. | ||

If this can't be added, does anyone know how Twitch responds to being fed a 16:10 resolution? | ||

It only allows me to have a resolution that matches my monitor, though. I can't seem to put my 16:10 screen size into a 16 stream (with black bars at sides). Am I just totally missing something somewhere? It's likely I am... EDIT: I was totally missing something... you can just type in the resolution manually, it just defaults to multiples of your monitor's resolution. My bad! | ||

Why would you force 16 : 10 to stream at 16 : 9? Just stream at your native resolution and let the pillarboxing / letterboxing happen on the viewers end, otherwise if someone watches your stream on a 16:10 monitor they have black bars on top, bottom, left and right, so it's impossible to watch full screen! As a rule of thumb, if you see any black bars in your preview window you're doing something wrong. | ||

twitch.tv/paintball1 Watch a xOGaviNNN 1v1 masters part of a game then watch part of a game thats titled testing new software. My settings with xsplit were a bit lower and I would average 30 fps or so. With this new program I stream with slightly higher quality than before averaging 60 fps. Its great I use amd 965 quad core black edition 3.4ghz xfx hd radeon 6770 1gb 4gb ddr2 g.skill ram | ||

If I steam at 500/750/1000/1250/1500 Kbps, how much upload bandwidth do I use per hour? In MB  Or at least the way to calculate it. Granted, I probably know how, but the units confuse me =_=Although I have a decent cap for Canada, I still don't want to accidentally screw myself over. Thanks ^-^ | ||

500kb/s=219MB/h 750kb/s=329MB/h 1000kb/s=439MB/h 1250kb/s=549MB/h 1500kb/s=659MB/h ...this is only if you're outputting that bitrate constantly. in low motion scenes, you will often send less, so it's very unlikely that you'll actually output that much in an hour. you should also factor in audio bitrate as well. You may want to turn down the "quality" value to prevent your bitrate from always being max if you'd like. ...I do also hope I didn't jack that math. | ||

As a rule of thumb, if you see any black bars in your preview window you're doing something wrong. The majority of what I stream is from a 16: 9 webcam, occasionally switching to my screen to show web pages etc. So I stream at 1280x720, so the webcam is fullscreen. Then I stretch/fit the 16:10 screencap so it fits vertically and has black bars at sides. This then gives me a 16: 9 video that fills the default stream size on Twitch, YouTube pages, etc. If I was just streaming game footage, and using it solely on Twitch, then I'd just do as you said. Either way, I've worked out how to do it now, and will say I'm totally impressed with the software. It does all I need, is free, and is definitely less resource intensive in general than Xsplit (and no waiting for ages to startup/login). | ||

If that is the case, it could be the own3d server you're connecting to.. I actually don't think I have a complete list of own3d servers in the app at the moment. No fps drops or anything. It is green the whole time, and i have also lowered connection settings and all still lags. With xsplit this does not happen to me for some reason. | ||

I could be doing something that own3d doesn't particularly like.. not sure. will try to get an own3d stream myself and investigate. | ||

I got only 1MB upload. 1mb wouldn't be considered great quality. I would say if you have a beast computer 720p might not look too bad with a slower preset. If you have mid range pc 480p @ like 700kbps will look decent. | ||
