My stream is at twitch.tv/BioDieselTV there are some VODs on there, quality is pretty good but yours is a lot smoother. Any tips on settings? Keep up the good work! | ||

My stream is at twitch.tv/BioDieselTV there are some VODs on there, quality is pretty good but yours is a lot smoother. Any tips on settings? Keep up the good work! 720p@30fps Settings: Preset: faster Quality: 5 VBV: 3500kbps Audio: 44.1KHz 16bit Stereo, AAC LC, 192kbps Interleave: Enabled 1080p@30fps Settings: Preset: faster Quality: 4 VBV: 4800kbps Audio: 44.1KHz 16bit Stereo, AAC LC, 192kbps Interleave: Enabled Capture Source: BMIS for console games, DXtory source (1920x1080 output) for PC games. All overlays are either static images, or XSplit plugins I built myself. These include: Scoreboard - Starboard (I made it, I should probably use it) Player Rankings at start of game, Voting results Scene Switching during Top 200 - R1CH's XSplit Scene Switcher Automatic overlay switching and hotkey presses before and after games, automatic scoreboard updating both at start and end of game: A custom app I built. Hope that's enough information ;D | ||

Hope that's enough information ;D Is there any reason you are using Faster for both 1280x720 and 1920x1080? The second resolution is more than twice as hard on cpu to encode | ||

The second resolution is more than twice as hard on cpu to encode It's more or less because 'I can'. Over the weekend though, when casting the Top 200 @ 1080p, I did switch to 'veryfast' instead, as I was having some CPU issues. The difference between the two, visually, is likely very little. Unless you have a heavily overclocked CPU in your favor, you likely want to stick with 'veryfast'. I know people using the hex-core i7's (3630 & 3690 i believe?) and they will use something along the lines of fast-medium. | ||

Ive been encoding 960x540@30fps using "slower" on an i7 950 for sc2 without dropping any frames in VOD's which is 5 presets below "veryfast" and it makes a massive difference at lower bitrates, i think there is definatly more room for pushing below faster if you have a 2600k @5ghz or something for 1280x720@30fps I think a 3930k could probably go for 720p30@medium with 2 cores dedicated to sc2 pretty easily | ||

I'm thinking of going either towards a 3930k or one of the new Ivy Bridge CPUs come May-June (when they're released). I could use native USB 3 ports on my motherboard + SATA3. | ||

I have that @3.72ghz, dont think its worth going ivy bridge from these CPU's as haswell will be a big upgrade in 1-1.5yrs anyway, the 6-cores will take a while longer to replace though. I dont know of anything that uses USB3 and the speed gain seen from SSD's is mostly from random access etc and not from sequential reading so sata 3 doesnt help all that much | ||

Now try encoding that with 1.5/2 cores dedicated to running SC2 smoothly  The whole screen region/dxtory thing is about ingame performance not encoding performance or stream quality | ||
