Only if you use hardware encoding.
Which is shit. Vastly, dramatically inferior to software encoding in performance.

You've got me on that one. FFSplit doesnt even give me an option one way or another.
EDIT2: Wow I derped real bad here. I had it backwards. The card is capturing not encoding. Hur Dur capture card not encoding card lullul.

:D
And yeah, FFsplit does not support capture cards directly just yet. Works nicely with AramecTV (or however you spell it) apparently.

yes yes FFsplit does NOT at the moment. Or at least not this one. Friend of mine tried it and it just crashes immediately.

From what I understand if you use AmarecTV in tandem with FFsplit it works just fine. By itself, FFsplit does not play well with capture cards.

Does it let you use your webcam?
People are saying it can but does it work right?

I don't think you can use the overlay system if you're using anything but the FFsplit capture system. I could be wrong though, as I have not played with it my self.
There's a new overlay coming out soon that is much more flexible.
You may be able to set up your webcam through AmarecTV, but I'm not sure.

Right on Ill let him know.
That being said we are having this weird scaling issue where the stream is overscanned compared to the actual stream. So he can either have as tream thats not the right size or play in an environment thats not the right size.
The FAQ says to just adjust the overscan but thats not a real solution since one is directly linked to the other.

Just a quick note that hasn't really been mentioned but capture cards are really best suited towards having a second rig to power the stream. If you have a second pc that can handle the encoding you'll be in great shape with a cap card.
