Question / Help Buffer Size

[Dobrowney]

Can one of the Devs please explain what the Buffer Size does for the stream.. I can not seem to find any info on what it really does..

It's actually a very complicated subject that not many people really understand, which is probably why you can't really find good info on it. It's always recommended to keep buffer size same as bitrate. Things can get weird if you start playing around with buffer sizes.

This is actually a half-decent explanation: http://www.xsplit.com/posts/305

I think there are some issues with the explanation, but that should at least give you a start.
