Hi! First of all, I love this program.

Second of all, I had been using it since I got my elgato earlier this year and have had minimal problems that were fixed promptly.

Third of all, when I tried to preview my stream before actually starting my stream, My FPS would go from 30 to 9 down to 1 and would keep going up and down. I have posted my log. It says my Aero is enabled, but when I tried searching on how to disable on my Windows 8 pc, all I could do was disable some settings that acted like Aero.

That CPU must be pretty bad, because it is taking forever to encode. Try using the ultrafast preset, and downscaling by at least 2x with the Bilinear filter, and use 25 FPS, though I'm not sure how much that will help.

Yeah, it's weird...it was released this year, but is dual-core...All I see in that log, though, is that it's taking forever on the encoding stage in the profiler, which is prety much completely dependent on the CPU.

Maybe QuickSync would help?
