Ah, I wish I could help!

I definitely got the processing power for it, but I do not have the upload capacity for it.

I can't upload more than 30-40kb/s without my connection going bonkers on me.

KGB is considering supporting this endeavor.

Nice write up SuperMoto and I personally commend your efforts.

I'm not sure how much you've been fiddeling around with the actual stream settings yet I can come with a few tips if you'd like. Whether or not you'll have use for them we'll see.

(The reason for this is because the quality of the stream viewed @ justin.tv in fullscreen was somewhat disappointing)

Again, I know nothing of your settings I'm just stating what kind of settings I used when I streamed. I don't remember the exact numbers of everything, but I got a pretty good sense of things anyways.

The screencapture program I used was just the standard 'VHCapture' if I recall correctly. Screen capture resolution I used was 1280x720 I believe, a framerate of 28-30ish, bitrate of about 5000-6000kbps. You basically want this as high as possible, without melting a hole through your computer of course.

Encoder was of course 'Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder'. Naturally I used the same settings as in VHCapture as my input settings in the encoder, in other words 30fps and 1280x720. The output settings I used was something about 1100-1200kbps and around 720ish output resolution. (These are all settings you want to play around with as much as possible)

Also, if you really want to max out the performance while streaming I'd suggest dedicate and split processors individually to each program. (e.g Task Manager > Processes > Set Affinity. I would use something like 0-1 for Game, 2-3 for VHCapture and 4-7 for the encoder or something similar.)

Often it'll feel quite daunting, but if you've got the muscle and connection for it you will be able to have it looking very good.

Thanks for the support guys, but we have another no show for the second streamer

Coreldan · 2012-01-11, 01:04 PM

The stream is live atm though.

Tigerbot · 2012-01-11, 01:04 PM

It's all looking good so far! If you still need help with anything I'd encourage you to make a post over on reddit. At the very least you could gain some more support by posting something over there.

I'm kind of expecting PSU to eventually have a section for "live streams" and links to streamers pages when we get a number of them. Like on Team Liquid.

Damn just got PS and Xsplit installed a few minutes ago

I'm streaming some NC gameplay atm on twitch.tv/newconglomerate

SuperMorto · 2012-01-12, 11:41 AM

still no takers on the second streamer

Graywolves · 2012-01-12, 12:57 PM

Can't stream yet, still building new computer.

Lorgarn · 2012-01-15, 05:01 PM

Just watched your recent 'FULL HD TEST' and it looks pretty sweet. A lot better than earlier.

If you guys can keep that up I'll definitely be a happy puppy.
