Hi all, I started using OBS pretty recently, after I got an HD PVR2 from Hauppauge. I'm not sure why I am dropping frames, but then again, my settings may be way off, i'm new to this. Here are some specs:
Samsung Series 7 Chronos:
8gb ram
Intel Core i7-3615QM CPU @2.30GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M
Download speed: 25mbps
upload speed: 15mbps

OBS Settings:
Quality Balance = 10
Max Bitrate = 3000
Buffer Size = 3000
Resolution = Custom = 796x448 (used the select region size tool for this)
Streaming from my xbox via the Happauge
CPU never goes above 30%
From my observations, frames will drop in groups, sometimes 500 or so at a time, then run smooth for a while, and repeat.
