Hi there
First post :) Good to be here in the world of OBS, very impressive software!
I live in South Africa, so internet is a bit of a problem here. However, I would still like to stream some of my games. More specifically HoN.
I have read a number of guides on setting up OBS, and also visited the http://obsproject.com/estimator
I have a downlink of 8128 kbps and uplink of 1024 kbps. Note : My ISP limits my downlink to 4096 kbps but it does/can spike quite high up to 8128 kbps on a regular basis.
I have i5 2500k with 8GB RAM and ATI 6950
estimator spat out the following :
I have read in various places that one cannot use the full uplink capacity for obvious reasons. Some guides say that you can dedicate 50% of your uplink speed to your video bitrate while others say up to 80%. Can someone please give me an idea of what I should be using?
Another question I have is the audio bitrate. AAC vs MP3. I assume that MP3 (compressed) will be better, but take more CPU to convert on the fly. Would MP3 be the best option in my case? Seeing as I have plenty of CPU but limited uplink speed?
Im open to any other tips/suggestions.
Many thanks for the assistance

Use CBR for improved stream stability
Recommended max bitrate: 680
Recommended buffer size: 408
