For some reason the white background on all the images I use, even if transparent on photoshop, still shows up? So instead of "overlaying" the stream it covers all of it. Is there something I can do? Are you using png or gif files? png always worked fine for me. | ||

Considering they are (as I understand it) different CPU's and I'm just trying to make sure we're on the same page, I'd think that matters. I'm not by any means fluent in understanding CPU performance, I take what I read at a very basic level and can decipher what's important and how things measure up against each other - but as I stated, the CPU you're quoting is different from what I have in age, so theoretically, if you are referring to the one you're talking about, then yes, it's very old. Thanks anyways. | ||

Thanks anyways. 3.40 Ghz AMD Phenom II X4 965 I wrote 695 instead of 965. I dont think a Phenom II x4 695 even exists.. either way you said 3.4ghz Phenom II x4, which is all of the information required | ||

Is game source really better with aero on or does it just not matter? It doesn't matter if aero is off or on for game capture. The only case when you want it off is when doing monitor capture. | ||

Specs are: Gigabyte Radeon HD7970 Ghz Ed. at stock speeds i7 3770k @4.4 Ghz ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/2518576467.png) My other big question is if it's possible to stream with just OBS and Twitch? Do I need to purchase any software? I've been reading a bunch on this thread but I'm still confused as to whether OBS replaces Xplit/Fraps or if it works in co-operation with them... Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! | ||

Obviously your only downside is your upload speed, which most aussies suffer from. | ||

Resolution is the number of pixels being displayed. 1080p is 1920x1080. (width x height), 720p is 1280x720, etc. Frankly, I doubt you need to bother yourself with learning what bit depth is. It's pretty irrelevant from a streamer perspective, but I guess you could skim the pictures at least: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth | ||

How are the two related? I thinjk ih can have a nicer looking 720p stream compared to a 1080p one if the bitrate is higher, why is that? | ||

If you mean you can have a better looking 720p stream than a 1080p stream if you use for example 2mbit bitrate for the 720p one and 1mbit for the 1080p, thats pretty simple logic once you know how to look at it. The 100MB video unless something is wrong will look a lot better than the 50MB one | ||
