So I have a few problems just started my first 2 PC stream today.
Ill outline my specs first.

Gaming PC:
4770K 3.5Ghz
R9 280X
Asus Z87 Mobo
16GB 1600Mhz
Adata SSD 128GB
WD Blue 1 TB

Streaming PC
3770 3.4Ghz
Avermedia live gamer HD
ASrock Z77 mono
8GB Ram 1600
WD Black 1TB

Now first the problem I am having, there are a few.
here is a test video.
http://www.twitch.tv/lunarisdope/b/511831602

1. The moion blur that seems to be going on
2. I cannot get it to stream the fullscreen
3. The audio for the game from the gaming PC isnt working, as you can here my mic does though.

Basically I have my DVI going to my Monitor from to the GPU (to be expected)
Then I put and HDMI cable from another port on my GPU to the In port on the avermedia in the streaming PC.
I then took a 3.5mm audio cable inserted it into the green on board audio slot on my gaming mobo, then inserted the other end into the blue slot on my streaming mobo.

Also my connection is.
30 Down
10 Up

Pretty straight forward but its not working out as well need some help please :)

Can you post your log? (Here's how)

It looks like the video getting captured is interlaced, which is weird...video from your GPU shouldn't be interlaced...are you making it interlaced somewhere?

That log isn't what I expect to see in a log file. Did you copy the entire file? How come there's all those scenes when you're using a capture card?

This is just a game capture log, which seems odd considering you're using a 2PC setup that has no way to utilize game capture. The log should be from your streaming PC.

- Put your scene buffering time back to 700ms and your profile from high to main under Settings > Advanced.
- Check the "use input device for desktop audio" box under Settings > Advanced, then select Line In as your second recording device under Settings > Audio.
- Set your capture card to match the aspect ratio of your source and your base resolution to match what the capture card outputs. For example if you want to stream at 60 FPS and your gaming PC is sending 1680x1050 video, you'll need to configure the capture card for 1280x800; if you game at 1920x1080 configure the capture card for 1280x720.
- You can use the fast preset for 720p60 or 800p60, and medium for 720p30.

If you're sending 1920x1080 video from your gaming PC then configure the capture card to output at 1280x720 and 60 FPS. Configure your base resolution and frame rate under Settings > Video for 1280x720 and 60 FPS as well.

Since you're using a 2PC setup you can afford to use much better compression (the preset dropdown box under Settings > Advanced). For a 720p 60 FPS stream change the preset from veryfast to fast.

Whenever you make a change that you want help with, post a new log file. And make sure you have a stream of at least five minutes in there, your previous log file's streams were all super-short and we can't tell anything about your performance for logs so short.

Are you sure about what resolution you're sending to your video capture card? I'd double check that, because its probably not actually 1920x1080. Either that or one of your scenes, which I'm still not sure why you're using, is messing it up.

In my case I always have to set the Scaling options to 0% overscan (thats available in the ATI and Nvidia control panel) With the scaling set to default I have big black borders all around my capture card footage.

The only thing I really think you can do is increase your bitrate, if your internet connection and viewers allow it. You're already running at as good of a preset as you're going to get.

Twitch's max is 3500, so you should try that. Of course your viewers may have a problem downloading that, which would give you another reason to keep it lower. Those are tradeoffs you're going to have to figure out for yourself.
