So i have an upload of 4.26 so what should my max bitrate and buffer be
Plus i use an avermedia darkcrystal hd dvr and i use the software total media extreme so when i try to add the windows source it works but when i enable aero so that obs windows doesnt overlay it just shows the source frozen meaning that when i do something with my xbox like a movement i doesnt respond to it meaning its frozen so idk wats up with that. Plus can you support the hd dvr as a camera source? or also support the gamesource feature that xsplit has.

i shall wait for your response.

The encoding numbers are always annoying to configure. In a future update down the road I will try to make it easier to set up.

But here's how you get started: from that number, it claims you have around 4260 kbits of upload. First thing you want to do is try 4000/4000 for your video bitrate/buffersize, then try 128 for your audio (so the total is 4128 just about). Try to stream, and if it goes yellow/red on the indicator, turn it off, lower the video values by about 200-400 (keeping them equal), and try again. Repeat until you get a consistently green indicator that stays green for a long time even when there's a lot of screen movement and action.

Of course, if you're streaming a multiplayer game, you need to make bandwidth room for you game too, so you may want to lower it another 100-300 after that depending on the MP game you're playing. Just remember -- Green is good.

If by gamesource you mean a fullscreen game, it's currently unsupported, but will be supported in the future. I don't know if your device is supported -- plug it in and give it a shot to find out.

thnks for the encoding issue that helped a lot but the avermedia usb hd dvr is not supported. I know that the hauppage hd pvr can be used as a cap card in xsplit but the avermedia is pretty much the same thing as the hauppage since they use the same software for capture. I hope that youy can find a way to allow that feature.
Also about the software capture when i do the region with the software here the software capture program :http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/803/beforea.jpg/ here is the sub region http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/22/subregion.jpg/ here is the obs window overlay problem http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/71 ... yprob.jpg/ and after tht i enabled aero so that i could get rid of the obs over the preview screen and it worked but the preview screen was frozen i did a movement on my xbox but the preview screen didnt respond heres a video of it :http://www.twitch.tv/darkstorivi/b/334757687. So yea i hope there is a solution for this.
