He's got a system that could encode that res @60fps, i think thats the best option with bandwidth up as high as you can put (up to 3-4mbits)

http://www.twitch.tv/mistaxlol/b/344280459 here is a recording of it @ 60fps is there anyway i could make it clearer? i tried 1080/60 with out much problem on the cpu side, but i think my bandwidth is not high enough with just 5mb up.

Also thank you for creating obs =).

^Its really clear man, just probably doesnt look it when you are upscaling it to view on your screen.

You could lower the framerate and/or resolution to get higher quality on each individual frame but i think what you have is really the best you could do. Close to 1920x1080, everything (all text etc) very clearly visible and 60fps. It doesnt look bad at all, just the effects of being bitrate limited are more obvious on higher end resolution*fps streams.

You could try lowering encoding preset if you have CPU room (check individual CPU core usage during high movement scenes etc) for a bit higher quality but there's not much room for improvement there

So what is the difference between using game capture and window capture for the sake of SC2 using OBS? Also does anyone have any real numbers on the difference? Window capture seems to work like a charm, so did it with xsplit and they also tried to make a DX capture feature which never really worked as well as window.... so Im just curious to why one should care about the game capture? :D thanks

Posted this in the Tech Support forum as well in the SQSA thread... Figured this might be a good place to get some feedback as well..

When streaming with OBS I suddenly get dropped frames and then a "Disconnected by Server" dialogue box.

OBS Settings:
Quality: 6
Max Bitrate: 1000kb/s
Buffer Size: 1000kb/s
Resolution Downscale: 2.25 (852x480)
FPS: 25
Aero Disabled

Using the Chicago, IL Server Option in OBS since I live near Minneapolis, MN

CPU Specs:
i5 750 Quad OC'd to 3.5GHz
8GB Ram
ATI Sapphire 5770 Gfx

Internet Specs
Hard-wired connection
Download: 50mb/s
Upload: 4mb/s
Very consistent throughout the day.

Anyone have any thoughts on what is causing this? Is this an error on the twitch side? OBS side?

Any advice would be appreciated : ]

go for 720p with 30 fps instead of 25 fps 480p i can do it with my c2d, so with 4 cores u should be ablke to have flawless 720p stream all the time. About this weird box, i would check firewall or anti virus software, this maight be a problem but dunno tbh...

doomed - game capture is primarily for people who want to capture fullscreen games. window capture can't do fullscreen, only borderless window and regular window. but in general, both are perfectly viable options. use whichever you like. if you do use window capture though, make sure to turn aero on to maximize performance. aero off is fine too, but it seems to work much better with aero on.

Can someone help me figure out the best settings for my set up? I've been streaming fine until recently, stream starting to lag and stutter every 30 seconds or so. I haven't changed anything within my settings, maybe they're just not optimized correctly.

CPU: i7 3770k
GPU: GeForce 9800 GTX+ (Need a new video card, I know)
RAM: G-Skill 8gb 2133mhz
MOBO: Asus P8Z77-Pro

Current Settings:
Quality: 8
Max Bitrate: 1900
Buffer Size: 900
Audio Encoding: AAC Bitrate 128
Server: US West - Los Angeles
Custom: 1920 x 1080
Resolution Downscale: 1.50 (1280 x 720)

go for buffer 1900, quality 10, 60 fps. I think u should be able to rach this withount much problem. if stream would be laggy or smthing lower preset.

Tried that. For some reason, its still stuttering from time to time. It didnt do this before. Anyone know why?

has anyone tried game capture? and can anyone comment on the performance difference and any other differences vs window capture?

When I tried game capture, only my mouse shows up. The rest of the screen is just black.

For me with a lower end computer Q6600.
Screen capture 40-50 fps in league of legends streaming at 1280x720 (25fps)
Game Capture 60+ fps (i cap it with vsync) in league of legends streaming at 1600x900 (30fps)

So a vast improvement for me.

gamecapture allows me to go for 600p more less good smoothness on c2d ;P try to use 32 bit version, as 64 is unstable i think...

DO NOT change preset from veryfast unless you are an advanced user.

Id cut bitrate to 1600-1700, you are using 2,028mbit for the stream alone out of your 2.09, which doesnt allow room for other programs or for bitrate spikes (any encoder will either use a bitrate averaging a lot lower than what you set, or spike above it a bit if you use VBR usually)

and also re-test the server you are using, consider changing it as the same one doesnt always work as well consistently, especially at edge of limits.

I love this program, i still havent figured out what settings to use to get the best out of it and the same time not suffering any ingame lag but its by far the best streaming experience, specially the configuration is really easy even for idiots like me so thats a big plus.

setup is something like phenom II 955, 4gb, vdsl 25

Current Settings:
Quality: 7
Max Bitrate: 1800
Buffer Size: 1800
Audio Encoding: AAC Bitrate 128
Server: US West - Los Angeles
Custom: 1920 x 1080
Resolution Downscale: 1.50 (1280 x 720)
FPS: 30
Disable Aero at Startup: Yes

btw, anyone know how to disable certain stuff like for example teamspeak, that that doesnt get into the stream? or is that even possible? :D dont wanna stream with some dudes on my ts talking about lol, like anyone cares about that.

Streamquality looks like this, could probably be a bit better i guess :x

^Use quality 10 unless you are an advanced user and have reason not to, it doesn't affect CPU load or basically anything at all aside from the bitrate output.

Its pretty difficult to selectively stream audio, usually all-or-nothing unless you set up a program like virtual audio cable which takes some work and is not free, etc.
